J. P. Cormier - Another Morning lyrics

Another morning, one more day that I've been granted Too bad the sun can't come and chase the years away At eighty-three the seeds of youth have all been planted I see the harvest in a faded memory Another morning, how I'd love to see my children But they have all grown up and away to other lives Jim is a doctor, Bill's a pilot; they don't call often And we lost Sarah in the fire of '65 Now the days are growing longer And I am much too old for anyone to hold How I wish that I were stronger To make the trip back home Can I make it all alone Another morning, feed the cat and watch the TV It's days like this when I miss Katherine the most I lost her last May when the sickness took her from me But I still talk to her like she never left the house Now the days are growing longer And I am much too old for anyone to hold How I wish that I were stronger To make the trip back home Can I make it all alone Another morning, I have watched the children playing Without a thought or care to how they spend their lives Someone should warn them that the years come slowly creeping And one day they will see the world through my eyes How the days will grow much longer And they will be too old for anyone to hold How they'll wish that they were stronger To make the trip back home But like me they'll be alone Yes, I wish that I were stronger For I know I must go home But it's hard to all alone
