How are you doing, do you know my name
How was your breakfast, not sure why I came
Are they treating you well, do you have what you need
Don’t know why you’re angry perhaps I should leave

Should I sit here beside you, we’ll talk for a while
And after a time I may get you to smile
It’s like starting over, each time that I try
For a hint of remembrance, an endless goodbye

So we turn the pages and name all the faces
Of those that you loved and you knew and held dear
We’ll walk through the ages and visit the places
And treasure the memories no longer so clear
And I’ll hope for a moment, one more sweet moment together with you

I pretend I’m in your time, you can’t come back to mine
I know that I lost you a long time before
I still hope for a miracle or just one small sign
I lose you again when I walk through the door

You were the parent and I was the child
It’s all upside down now the papers are filed
You were the strong one and now I must be
You don’t understand you must now lean on me

So we turn the pages and name all the faces
Of those that you loved and you knew and held dear
We’ll walk through the ages and visit the places
And treasure the memories no longer so clear
And I’ll hope for a moment, one more sweet moment together with you

Now you’re room is empty, like part of my day
I thought I’d be ready but there is no way
To explain what I’m feeling, the sadness the grief
And mixed with it all is a sense of relief

I can still turn the pages and look at the faces
Of those that I love and I know and hold dear
I’ll walk through the ages and visit the places
The memories put down here forever so clear
And I’ll have one more moment, one more sweet moment together with you, with you
