Keep Your Memory - Katie Thompson

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
