(lisa palas, biff fink, ira rogers)
The sign says, "families welcome"
At the oaks retirement home
But mostly, no one comes cept on the weekends
Ruby wilson lives in 303
Where she spends most her time
But its almost noon on sunday
And shes been sitting in the lobby since nine
Chorus:
Shes all dressed up in her best hat and gloves
Shes all dressed up
Watching and waiting, but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow
When youre all dressed up
With nowhere to go
As ruby watches all the others
Leaving with their families
The nurse tells her, its time to come to dinner
She says shes expecting company
Theyre just running late
But, the nurse knows the truth too well
She just sighs and walks away
Repeat chorus
