working in a nursing home

working in a nursing home:
old folks feel so lost and alone:

they just want to talk to friend or family on the phone:
they feel so lonely lost and alone:

up and down the hallway they will roam:

they speak of years gone and past:
they arent so sure how much longer they can last:

they say its time and they want to go:
sometimes they get so depressed and low:

it only takes a little while to put on a friendly smile:

to have some fun smile laugh and play:
to do your best to brighten the day:

no one knows when there last day will arrive:
so just have fun live laugh and be alive:

working in a nursing home old folks feel so lost and alone:
this is where they now call home:

do your best to smile and sing:
then to all the old folks happiness bring:
