Losing Mama Every Day - Paul Bethel And Mick Franklin

This Song was Written By Paul Bethel about his mother succumbing to Alzheimers Disease
Please support Alzheimers research
Sometimes she sits with vacant eyes
Staring into space
No shadow of emotion left
On her dear old wrinkled face
The woman that I used to know
Will soon be gone for good
And I can’t tie the hands of time
God knows I wish I could
I’m losing Mama every day
One memory at a time
I’m watching as she slips away
It’s a slow and silent crime
Each minute brings her closer to
The moment when she’ll see
A stranger watching over her
The stranger will be me
She can’t remember Daddy now
He’s just a photo in a frame
Her past’s a jigsaw puzzle
Where each piece looks the same
One by one the lights go out
In the windows of her mind
Bit by bit she disappears
And leaves us all behind
I’m losing Mama every day
One memory at a time
I’m watching as she slips away
It’s a slow and silent crime
Each minute brings her closer to
The moment when she’ll see
A stranger watching over her
The stranger will be me
The place she’s lived for sixty years
She doesn’t recognize
And every day the sadness grows
Behind those clouded eyes
The day they lay her in the grave
My grieving heart will know
That I’ve already said goodbye
I lost her long ago.
I’m losing Mama every day
I’m watching as she slips away
And all my love can’t make her stay
I’m losing Mama every day
