Story behind the song
This song was inspired in part by watching my own grandparents spend out the last years of their own life in a nursing home and an episode of Golden Girls.
Lyrics
Forgotten Lullabies (c) Colleen Laylon, BMI, 2007 V1 She sits and rocks alone at the old folks County home clock chimes on the wall she just stares at the phone her long golden curls have turned silver with time she's so far from home with her Forgotten Lullabies Chorus Forgotten Lullabies from when her son was a child she remembers them at night when she can't close her eyes like a bird in a cage she sits and she waits suspended in time with her Forgotten Lullabies V2 She walks to the Rec Hall same routine every day finds an empty seat feels she's taking up space maybe her son will call she hasn't seen him in awhile they say she's lost her mind with her Forgotten Lullabies Repeat Chorus Bridge Her son got a call he was told she passed away in that moment he recalled a Forgotten Lullaby, Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye Revised Chorus Forgotten Lullabies from when he was a child he remembers them at night it's too late to make it right the boy inside the man pretends to hold her hand tears fill his eyes as he recalls her lullabies Tag In an old wooden chair a women sits and rocks alone won't you pick up the phone or drop by the County home
