Heartwarming yet sorrowful song written after witnessing the pain suffered by a family as they lost their husband and father to alzheimer's.
Lyrics:
They’ve shared a life he can’t remember
They’ve shared a life she can’t forget
She’s the stranger in the mirror
Who combs his hair and helps him dress
They started young raisin’ a family
Seldom took time for themselves
Had a closeness most can only dream
Through rich or poor, sickness and health
Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass
He used to joke “I don’t remember squat”
She’d just say “You work too hard”
Now lost among his scattered thoughts
He still holds her in his arms
Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass
He’ll always be - the husband that she loves
She’ll always see - the father that he was
Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass
