Grady

I look down at my chest and see this ring about my neck
That signifies the love you have for me
I sit here and reflect
On all the times we had together
From my younger days till now
While Watching you deteriorate
On the verge of breakdown
You don't remember my name
But you still give me this look
Like you know just who I am
And yet it still gets me shook
Goosebumps go right down my leg
The hairs just stand on my arms
I feel the tears building up
But I'm just keeping my calm
Remember when you use to pick up
From school and take me home
We'd buy a hot dog on the way
Right at the stand and be alone
Drive up to pal
Picking grandma up
That's when I lived with ya
Ya been my precious jewels from jump
I always stood in awe
My parents were working hard
Ya introduced me to god
Ya showed me what real love is
That's what I had for you, and lord
Knows I cherished you with every
Moment that has passed
But never thought I'd see the dust
Run out within this hour glass

I love you Grady
Cause your my Grady
I know your mind will start to go
So before your body leaves
I thought it best to let you know
I love you Grady
Cause your my Grady
I know your mind will start to go
So before your body leaves
I thought it best to let you know
I love you Grady

You never been a man of many words
With people
But when with us, you had your jokes
And every time I'd see you
You'd put a smile across my face
And make me laugh
While watching cowboys in your room
Or when I had to run you baths
Remember when you use to take me
To the banos and the beach
Get some pinchos on the way while
Playing salsa, you teach me
What they said, Cause I ain't have a clue
All that mattered to me was the time
That I would spend with you
I wish you would have knew
How much it meant to me
How all the time we spent was quality
And if I never told you
Well than this is my apology
I never thought that I would see
You laid up on this bed
As just shell of who you were
Filled with pain, I really dread
The thought of losing you
I know it's just a part a life
But this part I've never seen
I know your putting up a fight
And this dementia is a monster
I don't even understand
All I can do is stay right by
To kiss your head, and hold your hand

I love you Grady
Cause your my Grady
I know your mind will start to go
So before your body leaves
I thought it best to let you know
I love you Grady
Cause your my Grady
I know your mind will start to go
So before your body leaves
I thought it best to let you know
I love you Grady
