Tell Me Your Name

(Alzheimer’s/dementia)

1st Verse:

There’s days that she can’t recall, From the life that she lived,

With some memories she’s better off, Cause she don’t have to forget,

But I get my hopes up some times, When I see that light in her eyes,

And she says....

1st Chorus:

“Tell me your name, I feel like I know you,

Like I have seen you more than just a few times ,

Come here let me show you, A couple of pictures.

They’re a little faded and it’s before your time

This was in Colorado, One February

Where we moved from Toronto, Right after we married,

The man on the left, Is my loving husband

And those are our kids, Oh how I love them

That look in their eyes, The smiles on their face

When I look at you, Its strangely the same

Tell me your name”

2nd Verse:

Most of the time that’s the way, our visits usually go,

Photos of memory lane, a few memories she can still hold,

But there’s moments I can still find,

That it’s her, staring out through those eyes,

And I say,

2nd Chorus:

“Tell Me Your Name, I know that you know me,

You’ve been there every day of my whole life,

Come here let me show you, in most of your pictures,

That’s me that’s standing right there by your side,

Like there in Colorado, the reason we’re laughing,

Is you’d just made a snowball, and threw it at Daddy,

That man on your left, yeah you were his angel,

You might not remember now, but someday you will,

That look in our eyes, the smiles on our faces,

We’ve got no doubts, Mom you were the greatest,

So Tell Me Your Name”

And she said...Diane
