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