When You Forget

I walked in the room and looked in your eyes And I could tell right then, you didn't recognize The man I've become, and it tore me up But that's just what time sometimes does Your memory's fading, it's breaking my heart If you look in that mirror and wonder who you are You're still our hero, you're still the man A hell of a father and a damn good friend You can fix any problem with a wrench or some words The backbone of our family in the front of that church You kept every promise for worse or for better I'm writing you this, so when you forget, you can remember We were turning them roles when you taught me to drive You've been wearing that ring since July of '55 You kept food on that table, lights on in that house So, don't ever question, no, don't ever doubt You're still our hero, you're still the man A hell of a father and a damn good friend You can fix any problem with a wrench or some words The backbone of our family in the front of that church You kept every promise for worse or for better I'm writing you this, so when you forget, you can remember Remember Your memory's fading, it's breaking my heart If you look in that mirror and wonder who you are You're still our hero, you're still the man A hell of a father and a damn good friend You can fix any problem with a wrench or some words The backbone of our family in the front of that church You kept every promise for worse or for better I'm writing you this, so when you forget, you can remember You can remember
