By the fireplace we sit each night,
With albums and frayed,
I hold your hand, so cold and light,
As memories start to fade.
Your eyes, they wander, in time,
Where once they saw our love,
Now within a maze so blind,
But still, I won’t up.
Though the years have worn us down,
And mind’s a distant shore,
I’ll hold on to the we found,
Even if you remember no more.
I’ll the keeper of our days,
In every photo, every song,
Though your mind may drift away,
My heart will you strong.
Your voice, a whisper, barely there,
Of when you were my guide,
Now I’m the one has to care,
Through every storm, every tide.
These hands, so weak, with every touch,
Try to turn back years,
But how can love be held so much,
faced with endless tears?
I see the man you to be,
In every faded frame,
A pillar, rock, sanctuary,
Before it all became a game.
With every I cannot twist,
Every step that brings me pain,
fight against the cruel mist,
That tries to take away again.
One day soon, I know we’ll part,
I’ll have to let you go,
But I’ll carry within my heart,
Where our love will always grow.
here’s to us, my darling dear,
In every tear, every sigh,
For though you fade, I’ll keep you near,
Our love will never die.
