Story behind the song
The lyrics of this song were presented to me in the form of a poem by my work colleague and friend Fred Barrett. Fred's mother has been stricken with Alzheimer's disease and he used his words to help deal with his personal struggle. It was an honour to help Fred put his words to music.
Lyrics
He thinks back on the good times The walks in the park Being together from morning until dark Coffee Sunday mornings and rides around the bay Living with the notion that he's losing her each day. Chorus: Fifty years together don't feel like it should The trials, tribulations, the hard times and good His world is all sadness and too much regret Because he still remembers all the things that she forgets Now holding things together is a hard thing to do Holding her hand and missing her too He hopes when he still tells her as many times he'll do The words break through the darkness....."I love you" Repeat Chorus

A wonderful song that touched me very deep inside. I had to think about my grandpa who slightly left his world into emptyness.Some memories hurt.

Hi Max, Sorry took awhile to get here. A very sad state that effects everyone around a person suffering. THe lyrics convey the feelings of the older man sitting by and watching his wife slowly slip away a very slow sad death. Musically very good match to the lyrics and your production is very good.

Max - the lyrics is one thing - no less than brilliant, but creating an atmosphere around the story that actually brings pictures to the listener's eyes is quite another challenge, but you really did good here - REALLY good. Lots of heart and momentum in your vocal performance. Very impressive - and a good cause to support. Thank you very much.
