The Oak Ridge Boys - Saving Grace lyrics

Lately Grace hasn't been herself And he's noticed the change Like forgetting friends they've known for years And misplacing all her things He'd make a joke and they'd both laugh And blame it on old age But it's not funny anymore She can't remember her name 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 So he'll spend the rest of his life saving Grace Raised five kids on a farmers pay Vietnam took his 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 The woman that he's loved for years Is trapped somewhere in the pain Tonight he swears she smiled at him and almost spoke his name
