Rocking Alone (in An Old Rocking Chair) Lyrics - Everly Brothers

Sitting alone in an old rocking chair 

I saw an old mother with silvery hair 

She seemed so neglected by those who should care 

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old 

A life of hard work was the story they told 

And I thought of angels as I saw her there 

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

Bless her old heart, do you think she'd complain 

Though life has been bitter she'd live it again 

And carry that cross that is more than her share 

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart 

Just some small remembrance on somebody's part 

A letter would brighten her empty life there 

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair 

I know some youngsters in an orphans' home 

Who'd think they owned heaven if she was their own 

They'd never be willing to let her sit there 

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I look at her and I think "What a shame" 

The ones who forgot her she loves just the same 

And I think of angels as I see her there 

Rocking alone in an old rocking chair
