Moving Oleta Lyrics - Room To Breathe - Reba Mcentire

Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done 

The nurses saw an old woman crying, but he saw the love of his life 

She don't know where she is, but she knows this isn't home 

Love is a hard, hard road 

He met her in the summer of '37 

In a brush harbor, down on the Rush Creek shore 

He loved her black hair and the mischief in her smile 

But she won him with her eyes 

All the years and children grow 

He still sees her the same 

Love is a hard, hard road

He woke up each morning and drove into town 

He stayed all day 'til her dinner came 

Then he took her to her room, leaned on her wheelchair like a walker 

And covered her with a quilt that she made 

Only God and a couple of nurses helped the old man shoulder the load 

Love is a hard, hard road 

And he said 

They tell me this is all that's left 

Say this hell on earth is best 

I list all those reasons and I still don't understand it 

He cursed his body old and weak 

Tears of failure burned his cheek 

And he said 

Oh, don't you know I prayed to die before this day 

Love is a hard, hard road 

Photos 

There's a shadow much darker than the valley of death 

When you fear the reaper might not come today 

They line 'em up in La-z-boys out in the sunroom 

The TV keeps the quiet away 

She can't recall his name 

And she's the only love he's known 

Love is a hard, hard road 

Love is a hard road 

Moving Oleta was the hardest thing he'd done
