Everyone Has a Story

Donna sat in her rocking chair, A couple pictures on the wall. Not much else was in there, Not much at all. All day long she looked out the door, Lost people shuffling by. She calls out for Stu once more Forgetting he had died. Everyone has a story, You really need to listen. If you rush right on by Never know what you're missing. Everyone has a story, You need to listen, You never know what you're missing. Well after Stu had flown in the war, They took the world by storm. They lived the good life in New York, Like they were native born. He gave out big bank loans, And Donna played debutante. She never cooked in their home, They ate in fancy restaurants. Everyone has a story You really need to listen. If you rush right on by, Never know what you're missing. Everyone has a story, You need to listen, You never know what you're missing. Well I got busy with my life: I went to school, and chased some dreams. Travelled a bit, and met my wife, Lost track of them, it seems. We gathered at The Mayflower, I hadn't seen them in years. The decades went down in a couple hours, Drank in like all our beers. Everyone has a story, You really need to listen. If you rush right on by Never know what you're missing. Oh, everyone has a story, You need to listen, You never know what you're missing. We stopped in to see her, Stu's brother and his son. She didn't know who we were, She didn't know anyone. Donna had a soft toy cat, It helped to keep her calm. She talked to it in her lap, And pretty soon we were gone. Everyone has a story, You need to listen. If you rush right on by, Never know what you're missing. Everyone has a story, You need to listen, You never know what you're missing. Donna sat in her rocking chair, A couple pictures on the wall. Not much else was in there, Not much at all.
