Doyle Lawson - Saving Grace Lyrics

Lately Grace hasn't been herself

And he's noticed the change

Like forgetting friends they have known for years

And misplacing all her things

He'd make a joke, they'd both laugh

And blame it on old age

But it's not funny anymore

She can't remember his name




He believes way down deep

She still knows who he is

Forty years of memories

Just can't just disappear like this

The doctors say it's hopeless

Her past has been erased

But he'll spend the rest of his life 

Saving Grace




---- Instrumental Interlude ----



Raised five kids on a farmers pay

Vietnam took a son

But watching Grace live like this

Is the hardest thing he's done

He sits there by her bed sometimes

While she's fast asleep

And tells her all about herself

Strokes her hair and weeps




He believes way down deep

She still knows who he is

Forty years of memories

Just can't just disappear like this

The doctors say it's hopeless

Her past has been erased

But he'll spend the rest of his life 

Saving Grace




The woman he's loved for years 

Is trapped in the pain

Tonight he swears she smiled at him

And almost spoke his name




The doctors say it's hopeless

Her past has been erased

But he'll spend the rest of his life 

Saving Grace




He believes way down deep

She still knows who he is

But lately Grace hasn't been herself
