Story Behind The Song

Alzheimer's disease has taken a spouse's memory.

Lyrics

Remember

Three small words you used to say
Long ago and far away
With a smile on your face
That time could not erase
Now something's wrong
Like words from a song
If only you could
Remember

You're so sad and withdrawn
Your beautiful smile is gone
You have to ask for my name
And tell me yours is the same
You wonder if you're home
And think you live alone
If only you could
Remember

Once in a while
Everything's clear
Then it's all gone
But for the fear

You welcome me with "who are you"
And "you look like someone I knew"
Long ago and far away
Three small words you used to say
You thank me for my time
Tell me not to cry
If only you could
Remember

If only you could
Remember
