I take a walk I mow the grass   I don't worry 'bout   the years that pass   My wife is dead I live alone   in my little country home   I have my memories   and dogs for friends         I water the ferns I plant some seeds   I make sure to pull out all the weeds   And to help myself along   I like to whistle this funny little song   I sang in my army days when I was young         A hot air balloon I will float away   At times I'm holding you         My kids and grandkids come   to stay with me once a year   And on New Years I drive down to be with them   Though I'm happy often I feel lonely   But when I speak I hear my wife speak         Don't feel alone because you're not really alone   Sweetheart no don't think you're alone         I feed the cat I sweep the floor   I don't fear dying anymore   I like to fish with Ed and Will   in the pond by the old paper mill   I am resigned to finish off my days this way
