Born in 44, and you've had quite the life
You found the one 18 you've had it all at least it seemed but
Now your memory starts to fade
I wish it didn't have to go out this way
But that is life, you live, you love
But just be prepared for the darker days
A light burning bright, begins to flicker into a fade
But darkness will not be all that is left
The times and memories remain
Watching you slip away is killing me
You tend to forget the simplest things
Watching you fade away is killing me
You tend to forget the simplest things
All the phone calls, they tend to hurt more and more
The same questions on repeat, over and over, most would call a bore
But knowing it makes you happy to hear my voice, and in return when I hear yours
It's a weird feeling, the sweet sadness that is left
Doomed to face the same fate as your mother before, and knowing that you have no choice
It's tough knowing there are rougher seas ahead
Your ship has set sail, while were stuck ashore
Watching you slip away is killing me
You tend to forget the simplest things
Watching you fade away is killing me
You tend to forget the simplest things
Watching you slip away is killing me
Watching you fade away is killing me
