It's Only Lonely Sometimes Lyrics

Grandma sits alone and stares outside the window

Pain is on her mind

She's got nothing left

But watching time go by

Slowly she begins to lose her focus

She prefers to choose the blind

She's got nothing left

To see before she dies

I never saw my grandpa hold her

Now he's gone and I am older

No one touches Grandma's shoulder

No one touches her at all

Little eyes that stare so far away

I wonder where she is today

But I'm leaving and all she will say

Is I'll be alright alone

She says it's only lonely sometimes in the morning

Sometimes in the quiet afternoon

It's only lonely sometimes in the evening

Do you have to leave so soon

Grandma makes her bed

She takes her pills and combs her head

She feeds the bird

Shuffles tiny feet

Across the chilly floor

Everybody rushes by so fast

Now and then she tries a word

But it's lost behind

Another slamming door

She only gets to church at Christmas

Always says she just barely missed us

But her mornings hurt so bad

She just can't get out of bed

She writes a friend a letter

When her trembling hands will let her

She can't believe it, but we tell her

Her friend is three years dead

You know, it's only lonely sometimes in the morning

Sometimes in the quiet afternoon

It's only lonely sometimes in the evening

Do you have to leave

Do you have to leave

Do you have to leave so soon
