Story Behind The Song

Written for a friend of mine who suffers from Alzheimer.

Lyrics

You're Fading . . .

It's a mess, It's a guess
But I think I know you well
What's your name
It's a shame
That I cannot really tell
And there seems to be a mist
Around me
And if only I could see

There's a laugh, it's a joke
And it's hard to comprehend
I think you were my love
I think you were once my friend
And I hope you all can feel
I know it
But it's hard enough to say

You're fading . . .

You're a face in a crowd
Are you someone that I know
Just a trace of a dream or
Was it many years ago
I just really want to hold you
In my arms
And we'll dance beneath the stars

You're fading . . .

Can I be strong
Can I hang on
Will you embrace me when I'm gone
Will I survive
Will I revive
Or will I vanish with the dawn

There's a song that I loved
It was not so long ago
What's the title, the words
I do not really know
And as soon as I get
So distracted
I remember who you are
But . . .

You're fading . . .
