A little quiet soothing music? 
"Hello In There"
We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
[Chorus:]
Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if he asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."
[Chorus]
So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."

A Friend In Me"
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Baby youv'e got a friend in me
You've got a pal in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got your troubles, I've got em too
There isn't anything, I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
Darling, you've got a friend in me
Now some of the boys might be
A little smarter than me
Or bigger and stronger, too
Baby none of them is ever gonna love you
The way I do
Oh it's me and you know
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see, it's our destiny
Cause you've got a friend in me
My baby you've got a friend in me
Now some of the boys might be
A little smarter than I am
Or bigger and stronger, too
Baby none of them is ever gonna love you
The way I do
Oh it's me and you know
And as the years go by
Our love will never die
You're gonna see, it's our destiny
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
My darling, you've got a friend in me.

"Doctor My Eyes"
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
