Lyrics: He poured the milk in the sugar bowl Tried to laugh it off, but his hands shook cold I kissed his cheek, said “happens to us all” Then turned away before the tears could fall He still wears the watch I gave him in June Then asks with a smile, “Did I get this from you?” He can’t find the words, but I still hear the man Who once built our life with his bare two hands Even if he forgets me, I’ll still understand The jokes in the kitchen, the way he held my hand The coffee he made me, that kiss on my brow I still see the boy in the man I hold now Our kids send cards, maybe twice a year And I don’t blame ‘em—it’s heavy in here But it me who cleans him up and hums him to sleep And he smiles like he’s happy to be loved this deep I sit and tell him stories about days long gone by His eyes light up like he's hearin' 'em for the first time And if I fade from his mind like a long lost song I’ll sing out my voice ‘til the last note’s gone Even if he forgets me, I’ll stay by his side In the silence, the shadows, the slow, slipping tide He may lose my name, but he’ll feel my love When my hand still fits his like a glove Even if he forgets me… I’ll remember him.
