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
