Dominoes

Sitting with the dog

Trying to clear the fog

Of the memory, the last time

I saw her face

Fifty years of time

An accident would take my mind

Shortly after take my wife away from me

Everybody knows, memories will keep you alive

Some of them can't be erased

If I remember one today

Let it be of Grace

Cat skills are all frozen

Playing dominoes

And I can hear a voice reminding me

I'm her hero

Finding myself able

With the chair across the table

To remember that it wasn't always empty

Everybody knows, memories will keep you alive

Some of them just won't go away

If there's a memory left of Grace

Let it come back today

And I see her beside me

As the grandkids, they remind me

She's in the cemetery

That we played in as kids

They just think I'm crazy

But the things she tells me lately

Are the only things that I cannot forget

Everybody knows, memories will keep us alive

Some of them just can't be erased

If I remember one today

Let it be of Grace
