And the four kids that he raised
They all live so far from home
And since his wife died last December
Hector's all alone
So she reads by day, sleeps by night
She never goes nowhere
And scarcely anybody
Even know's she's there
Well I know it's not so long ago
You were only twenty-one
But time moves only one way
You won't always be young
And if you don't think, when you get old
You can be alone and blue
Let me tell you my friend
You've got some thinking to do
