Looking out from the window
Her baby in her arms
She saw an old lady walking
They smiled at each other
Looking out from the window
Her baby was walking now
She watched her play outside
The child waved and she smiled
Looking out from the window
Her daughter went to school now
She watched her walking home
She smiled when she got close
Looking out from the window
Her daughter was starting college
She watched her packing the car
She smiled as she drove away
Looking out from the window
Her daughter was a grown woman
She watched her leaving home
She smiled as she waved goodbye
Looking out of the window
Her grandchild in her arms
She saw the same old lady walking
They smiled at each other
Looking out of the window
There was nobody outside
She saw the face of that same old lady
She smiled at her own reflection
