Song : HELLO IN THERE
From  The Divine Miss M. Atlantic 7238.  From  Experience the Divine, 
Bette Midler greatest hits

We had an aprtment in the city
Me and my husband liked living there 
it's been years since the kids have grown
A life of their own left us alone

John and Linda live in Omaha
Joe is somewhere on the road 
We lost Davie in the korean War
I still don't know what for 
Don't matter anymore

You know that old trees just grwo stronger
and old rivers grwo wilder everyday
But old people they just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say hello in there
Hello

Me and my husband we don't talk much anymore
He sits and stares through the backdoor screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some gorgotten dream that we've both seen

Someday I'll go and call up Judy
We worked together at the factory
Ah, but what would I say
When she asks what's new
Say "Nothing what 's with you?"
Nothing much to do

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wilder everyday
But old people they just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say hello in there 
Hello

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And you should spot some hollow ancient eye
Don't you pass htem by and stare
As if you didn't care say "Hello in there!"
Hello
