Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver Saving Grace lyrics

Lately Grace hasn't been herself
And he's noticed the change
Like forgetting friends they have known for years
and misplacing all her things
He'd make a joke - they both laugh; blame it on old age
It's not funny anymore, she can't remember his name

He believes way down deep she still knows who he is
forty years of memories just can't disappear like this
the doctors say it's hopeless; her past has been erased
but he'll spend the rest of his life... saving Grace

Raised five kids on a farmers pay, Vietnam took a son
but watching Grace live like this - it's the hardest thing he's done
He sits there by her bed sometimes; while she's fast asleep
Tells her all about herself strokes her hair and weeps


He believes way down deep she still knows who he is
forty years of memories just can't disappear like this
the doctors say it's hopeless; her past has been erased
but he'll spend the rest of his life... saving Grace

The woman that he's loved for years
is somewhere trapped in the pain
Tonight he swears she smiled at him and almost spoke his name
the doctors say it's hopeless - her past has been erased
So he'll spend the rest of his life...saving Grace

He believes way down deep she still knows who he is
But lately Grace hasn't been herself
