Keep Your Memory

Staring out across the river bank
Out your kitchen window
I know you’re seeing things that aren’t there
I find it hard to remember
You’re not the same as you once were
The fiery spark we have through all those years
You used to joke about
If you ever went this way
It seems the pills can’t help you
There’s nothing more to say
But I wish I could take the years from you
I’d gladly add them to mine
I wish I could do more for you
Help ease your state of mind
I cannot, so I’ll keep your memory
Losing track of all the names and dates
And things that must be done
It’s so hard to see you struggle through the day
Sleepless nights have you searching
For memories in the dark
Helplessly we watch you fade away
Still praying you’ll come back
I know you’d try if you could
But your hauntingly lost eyes
Tell me you are gone for good
But I wish I could take the years from you
I’d gladly add them to mine
I wish I could do more for you
Help ease your state of mind
I cannot, so I’ll keep your memory
I’ll keep your memory
I wish I could take the years from you
I’d gladly add them to mine
I wish I could do more for you
Help ease your state of mind
I cannot, so I’ll keep your memory
