Family History (Dementia)
Daughter telling her mother she will take care of her when she's old, to help cope with the mothers depression from her own mother being in a home due to dementia.

If you grow old- and then you forget,
How to get to where you've been...
If the memories begin to fade
Just as the moments did...
I'll be there for you-
I won't let them take you in.
I will take care of you
I'll be your only friend.
If you get weak I'll help you be,
Able to be to achieve-
Everything you want in life even if you dont
Truly believe believe
With everything in me.
It's only right to do the same.
For you.
Your'e blood, you gave me life.
Of you Because breathe
So as you try to find
The reasons for your time,
Think of her and find,
What matters here inside.
Follow your gut
intuition is clear cut.
Black & white
If you think it, feel it,
Dont jump the gun.
If you grow old- and then you forget,
How to get to where you've been
If the memories begin to fade
Just as the moments did...
I'll be there for you
I wont let them take you in.
We've only got so long
To live, to learn, to teach
Simply, Practice what you preach
There are Some things you can not unteach..
no matter the distance
Between us,
You'll never need to worry,
If you need me-
There I'll be.
I'll tell you your story.
If you forget it
Until then
You have to let me in
Tell me where you've been.
What you've seen, when you were a kid, up until just now
Who you are, and
who you were.
The random things you can remember making you happy along the road.
If you forget...
If you grow old- and then you forget,
How to get to where you've been...
I'll be there
If the memories begin to fade
Just as the moments did...
I'll take care of you
I'll be there for you-
I won't let them take you in.
I'll be here
I will take care of you
And if I need to be
I'll be your only friend.
You're my blood.
You gave me life.
Worry not
It'll be alright.
The only home you'll go to is mine.
