Dominoes

Sitting with the dog
Trying to clear the fog
Of a memory of the last time
That I saw her face

50 yrs of time
An accident would take my mind
And shortly after take the wife
Away from me

Everybody knows
Memories will keep you alive
Some of them can't be erased
But if I remember one today
Let it be of Grace

The catskills are all frozen
Playing dominoes and I can
Hear a voice reminding me
That I'm her hero

I can find myself able from
The chair across the table
To remember that it wasn't
Always empty

Everybody knows
Memories will keep you alive
And some just won't go away
But if there's a memory left of Grace
Let it come back today

And I see her beside me
As the grandkids they remind me
She's in the cemetery
That we played in as kids

They just think I'm crazy
But the things she tells me lately
Are the only things
That I cannot forget

Everybody knows
Memories'll keep us alive
Some just can't be erased
But if I remember one today
Let it be of Grace
