(Lisa Palas, Biff Fink, Ira Rogers) |
|
The sign says, "families welcome" |
|
At the Oaks |
|
Retirement |
|
Home But mostly, no one comes 'cept on the weekends |
|
Ruby Wilson lives in 303 |
|
Where she spends most her time |
|
But it's almost noon on |
|
Sunday And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine |
|
Chorus: She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves |
|
She's all dressed up |
|
Watching and waiting, but nobody comes |
|
Some days sure are lonely days |
|
And time can move so slow |
|
When you're all dressed up |
|
With nowhere to go |
|
As Ruby watches all the others |
|
Leaving with their families |
|
The nurse tells her, it's time to come to dinner |
|
She says she's expecting company |
|
They're just running late |
|
But, the nurse knows the truth too well |
|
She just sighs and walks away |
|
Repeat Chorus |
