Lyrics
Growing Old Alone
She’s wondering about the years ahead, and what the future holds
She’s sixty now and thinking about, twenty years down the road
Her husband parted ways with her, quite some years ago
Her children are all grow now, living lives out on their own
Someone to spend her life with, that’s what she’s praying for
That doesn’t seem like much to ask, based on how she lived before
She gave her life for others, but that life now is gone
And she’s believing for that someone, so she’s not, growing old alone
He was a faithful husband, to his kids he gave his best
Caring for his family, till his wife just up and left
Now its hard for him to comprehend, all that he’s going through
He finds himself, all by himself, thinking about his future to
Someone to spend his life with, that’s what he’s praying for
That doesn’t seem like much to ask, based on how he lived before
He gave his life for others, but that life now is gone
He’s believing for that someone, so he’s not, growing old alone
One day the good Lord answered, the desires of their hearts
Brought the two together, gave them a brand new start
And I guess you know from here, how the story’s going to go
Now that they have each other, they won’t be growing old alone
Someone to spend their life with, that’s what they were praying for
That didn’t seem like much to ask, based on how they lived before
They gave their life for others, but that life now is gone
For now they have each other, and they won’t be growing old alone
