[Verse]
We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well its been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
And I still don t know what for don t matter anymore.
[Chorus]
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.
[Verse]
Me and Loretta we don t talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we ve both seen.
Someday I ll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks What s new
Nothing, what s with you? Nothing much to do.
[Chorus]
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.
[Verse]
So if you re walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don t just pass them by and stare
As if you didn t care, say Hello in there, hello
