Saving Grace

 

Lately Grace hasn’t been herself, and he’s noticed a change

Like forgetting friends they have known for years

And misplacing all her things

He’d make a joke they’d both laugh and blame it on old age

But it’s not funny anymore, she can’t remember his name

 

Chorus:

He believes way down deep, she still knows who he is

Forty years of memories just can’t disappear like this

The doctors say it’s hopeless, her past has been erased

But he’ll spend the rest of his life, saving Grace

 

Raised five kids on a farmers pay, Viet Nam took a son

But watching Grace live like this, is the hardest thing he’s done

He sits there by her bed sometimes, while she’s fast asleep

Tells her all about herself, strokes her hair, and weeps

 

Chorus:

He believes way down deep, she still knows who he is…

 

 

The woman that he’s loved for years, is somewhere trapped in the pain

Tonight he swears she smiled at him, and almost spoke his name

The doctors say it’s hopeless, her past has been erased

But he’ll spend the rest of his life, saving Grace

 

He believes way down deep, she still knows who he is

 

But lately Grace hasn’t been herself.
