Gwendolyn Bartley Lyrics[Verse 1]
Gwendolyn Bartley
Put on a grand party
But no one attended but me
A poor sight to see
She worked at the factory
No friends or no family
As lonely as lonely can be
All 'cause she's 83
[Chorus]
Why do we treat old people like this?
They're so wise and yet we dismiss
Bein' in their company is pure bliss
Here's Gwendolyn Bartley to reminisce
[Post-Chorus]
Gwendolyn Bartley
[Verse 2]
When I was a kid
I smiled at everything around me
And now that I'm old and grey
I can't get anyone to surround me
[Chorus]
Why do you treat me like this?
I've got so many stories to tell yet you dismiss
Have some cake I made, it's pure bliss
But you'll never hear me tell you this
[Outro]
Wait, what's wrong, doctor?
Oh, Gwendolyn's passed on
Man, I wish I had talked to her more
