Love Never Does Where Memory Wains

They grabbed the future by the reigns

Right outside the wedding gate

But alas with passing years

The age of old gets hard to take

Who knew that as of late

Memories would start to wain

Both of them still feel the love

But deep inside so much has changed

In the fog of her mind

She recognizes the familiar face

But as hard as she tries

She can't recall the familiar name 

He takes her by her fragile hand

Comforts her with it's okay

You're still my girl, I'm still your man

And it will always be that way

He remembers well his wedding vow

All the promises that he made

And all that heaven will allow

Though they're both now old and gray

Over the years with so much

They held on tight to the love they saved 

So at this time they'd have enough

For the likes of this day
