Lyrics
The Pain (growin' old can bring)
The old man walks his cane down through the park
He feeds the birds and stays till almost dark
And later in his nursing home, he prays the phone will ring
As he feels the pain growin old can bring
The children that he worked so hard to raise
Won't even come or call on holidays
His wife died here a year ago, but he still wears her ring
He feels the pain growin' old can bring
He wonders if his grandson ever got the train
He sent to him for Christmas, cause a thank-you never came
And he hates the tears that close his eyes each night he thinks of him...
But thats the pain growin' old can bring
And just befor he lays down in the dark
He thinks about the birds out in the park
Then somewhere, in the darkness, his phone begins to ring
(spoken words)
Love heals the pain growin' old can bring
Love heals the pain growin old can bring
