Story Behind The Song

Not many songs about Alzheimer's, thought I'd write one.

Song Description

A story of enduring love of a husband and his wife and how it transcends time.

Lyrics

Her Memory (2011) 6

V1
She's more than forgetful, she's not herself anymore
She picks up the car keys and asks, "What are these for?"
It's like a part of her, is buried someplace deep
Where it's been locked away for keeps
But he still loves her, memory

V2
She's restless at sundown, like a child who wants to go home
She calls for her momma, but her momma is long gone
So he sits right beside her, watching reruns of Jeopardy
Talking 'bout old times, 'til she falls asleep
'Cause he still loves her, memory

Bridge
One day she took his hand and asked him, "Honey, where have I been?"
He looked into her eyes and said, "Where do I begin?"

V3
In touch for a moment, she clings to his embrace
And then as if on cue, they gently start to sway
They dance to a love song, from an old melody
Only they can hear it, only they believe
And he still loves her, memory

Outro
The music stops, as he wakes up from his dream
He turns the TV off and says, "Darling, you dance so sweet."
He still loves her. He still loves her
He still loves her, memory
