Lyrics Randy Newman

Randy Newman

Old Man

Everyone has gone away

Can you hear me? can you hear me?

No one cared enough to stay

Can you hear me? can you hear me?

You must remember me old man

I know that you can if you try

So just open up your eyes, old man

Look who's come to say goodbye

The sun has left the sky, old man

The birds have flown away

And no one came to cry, old man

Goodbye, old man, goodbye

You want to stay, I know you do

But it ain't no use to try

'Cause I'll be here and I'm just like you

Goodbye, old man, goodbye

Won't be no God to comfort you

You taught me not to believe that lie

You don't need anybody, nobody needs you

Don't cry, old man, don't cry, everybody dies
