Monique Brumby They're Still Alive lyrics

I love my wife but for the past 10 years she hasn't known my name
I still love her but it is hard, now I'm afraid of what it is
Of what it is I have to deal with

I love my wife we've been married now since 1959
She was incredible, a beautiful dancer, such a caring mother
Now her memory's gone she a bystander as life rolls along

Do you know what it's like to lose your best friend
They're still alive in their body but not in their mind

If you talk to my wife when she's lucid she'll tell you
She did not expect this, none of us did and you think why me
Why me, she used to be a teacher now people treat her so differently

Do you know what it's like to lose your best friend

They're still alive in their body but not in their mind

They're still alive in their body but not in their mind

I love my wife we dance and sing together, it's music that gets us by
Oh my darling Clementine you are still divine, you're still divine
My darling, you'll always be mine

Do you know what it's like to lose your best friend
They're still alive in their body but not in their mind

She's still alive in her body, I love my wife
