Hap Palmer
Old Rocking Chair
Lean back, snuggle in my lap
Tonight let's take time to share
Quiet sounds and peaceful sights
Outside in the old rocking chair
Chorus:
We're rocking, we're rocking
We're rocking tonight
Rocking, we're rocking
Beneath the moonlight
Dusk covers the valley
Stars slowly come into sight
Birds chatter among the trees
Before saying goodnight
Crickets sing a merry song
The night breeze whispers a prayer
Nature plays her lullaby
Heard from the old rocking chair
Repeat Chorus
Shadows dance across the porch
Cast by the heaven's soft glare
Rich designs of rustling leaves
Surround the old rocking chair
Repeat Chorus
Wood weathered by years of use
Seat tattered and worn with wear
But lean back in those aging arms
And no place can compare
Yes lean back in those aging arms
And no place can compare
