dominoes

Sitting with the dog
 trying to clear the fog of a
 memory of the last time
 that I saw her face
 50 yrs of time an accident
 would take my mind and shortly
 after take the wife
 away from me
 everybody knows
 memories will keep you alive
 some of them cant be erased
 if I remember one today
 let it be of Grace
 catskills are all frozen
 playing dominoes as I can
 hear a voice reminding me
 i'm her hero
 finding myself able from
 the chair across the table
 to remember that it wasn't
 always empty
 everybody knows
 memories will keep you alive
 some of them just wont go away
 if there's a memory left of Grace
 let it come back today
 I see her beside me
 as the grandkids they remind me
 she's in the cemetery
 that we played in as kids
 they just think i'm crazy
 the things she tells me lately
 are the only things that I cannot forget
 everybody knows
 memories will keep us alive
 some just cant be erased
 if I remember one today
 let it be of Grace
