They’ve shared a life he can’t remember
They’ve shared a life she can’t forget
She’s the stranger in the mirror
Who combs his hair and helps him dress

They started young raisin’ a family
Seldom took time for themselves
Had a closeness most can only dream
Through rich or poor, sickness and health

Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass

He used to joke “I don’t remember squat”
She’d just say “You work too hard”
Now lost among his scattered thoughts
He still holds her in his arms

Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass

He’ll always be - the husband that she loves
She’ll always see - the father that he was

Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass
