Acoustic guitar, vocal and harmony. Rough draft
Story behind the song
Old man gets put in a retirement home then finds new love and is back at his own home.

Good daughter drove him to the place
She tried to help him settle in
Then he saw that look upon her face
He knew hea019d barely see her again
This is my reward he thought
My thanks for growing old
First to live without my sweet Loraine
Now I cana019t live in my home
But every new chapter starts
Where the last chapter ends
For every page of memories
There's a new one to begin
You may not feel the pages turn
But you get strong from lessons learned
And the endings are the perfect place
To start over once again
He kept mostly to himself
Wanted nothing more and so
It took him by surprise the day
She smiled and said hello
Hazel eyes that special gleam
Thought hea019d never see again
Her heart an open book it seemed
Written just for him
Every new chapter starts
Where the last chapter ends
For every page of memories
There's a new one to begin
You may not feel the pages turn
But you get strong from lessons learned
And the endings are the perfect place
To start over once again
Good daughter drove the newlyweds
To his old familiar home
A chapter ends and one begins
Lord let this one be longa026a026
Every new chapter starts
Where the last chapter ends
For every page of memories
There's a new one to begin
You may not feel the pages turn
But you get strong from lessons learned
And the endings are the perfect place
To start over once again
