Some Things Never Change

He's not as sharp as he once was Sometimes he forgets my name But he laughs and carries on like he always did I guess some things never change Mama confides that her hands are full The old man's not easily tamed He's stubborn but sometimes he's gentle, too I guess some things never change I really should visit I really should call I'm caught up in my life I'm giving my all... He used to sing with the best voice in town Now a whisper is all that remains But he is still humming his harmonies I guess some things never change We finally moved him to Manor Rest Home Sometimes I feel so ashamed He flirts with the nurses, he hates the food I guess some things never change! I really should visit I really should call I'm caught up in my life I'm giving my all... He can be selfish or angry or rude But I love him just the same He'll never say that he loves me, too... I guess some things never change I guess some things never change
