"Sitting By Herself" is a song about how each birthday we celebrate marks the sure and steady passage of time.

lyrics

Sitting by herself © Maurice Byrne 2017

Verse 1
Had a celebration
Sweetheart and me
She had another birthday
Went out to O'Neill's
Held hands laughed and joked
About the year between
What came to pass, what happened
And what might have been

Chorus
We talked about the people who came into our lives
Thought about the others we hadn’t seen in a while
Sipped champagne and coffee went from A to Zed
Beside a sweet old lady sitting by herself

Verse 2
She was staring out the window
When we first came in
Lost in thought
Stuck inside a dream
From where I was sitting,
I could see her back
I should have said "come join us”
But thought I couldn’t ask

Chorus

Verse 3
Well our lady stood and carefully
With her trusty cane
Shuffled past our table
And I could see her face
That look was unmistakable
A thousand questions why
As her husband’s sweet memory
Trickled from her eye……

Chorus (Dolce)
She thought about the people who came into her life
Thought about her loved ones way out on the other side
Sipped champagne and coffee went from A to Zed
Then this sweet old lady went home by herself

Tag
Had a celebration
Sweetheart and me
She had another birthday.........
