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 can't be erased But if I remember one today Let it be of Grace The catskills are all frozen Playing dominoes and I can Hear a voice reminding me That I'm her hero I can find myself able from The chair across the table To remember that it wasn't Always empty Everybody knows Memories will keep you alive And some just won't go away But if there's a memory left of Grace Let it come back today And 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 But the things she tells me lately Are the only things That I cannot forget Everybody knows Memories'll keep us alive Some just can't be erased But if I remember one today Let it be of Grace
