Twilight

(Sheila Blackburn)

In old age love may loose passion but a life time spent together gives it the the strength to carry on through the bitterest loss of all, the loss of a living partner to dementia. These Lyrics illuminate the feelings of the partner 'left behind'

Come hold my hand
You haven’t done that for a while
Sit by me share a little time
Remember how it used to be
Look at some photographs of the kids
A painting bought on holiday
The day you broke a mug and I was mad
The ring you gave me for my 50th birthday

Come walk with me
Feel the fabric of a life time shared
Sit by me share a little time
Remember how it used to be
I have a movie of our first home
The tree you planted out the back
You never mended that cracked window pane
A wall you painted and you spilled the tin, it was a mess

Say my name out loud
I long to hear it on your lips
Sit by me share a little time
Remember how it used to be
We made love on a rug down by the stream
Strong arms that always held me safe
And insects buzzed and time stretched far ahead
A golden future that was never going to end 

You look at me with questions in your eyes
You smile but you’re not quite sure who I am
A familiar face you just cant place in a world you left far, far behind
and time has stolen all that we once shared
but still I sit and hold your hand and wait and smile
What else is left for me to do
Sit by me share a little time
Remember how it used to be
