Imagine waking up every morning to a world of strangers.
Thanks Frank for listening and commenting. All I can say is it’s a bitter disease. I really appreciate your thoughts pal.

Very nice—it touches the heart as it scorches the mind—very solid—now I think I’l go and SLIT MY WRISTS—no, of course, I’m only joking 
—I do (again) think this is a VERY touching song—my hat’s off to you!!!

Marvin, I think you are a very solid lyricist, and not just on a song or two—I notice skill and craft in many of your lyrics—I’m rooting for you and your songwriting success!!!

Great song Marvin, and I love the message, lyrics, and think it will be uplifting for anyone experiencing such a devastating loss of their faculties, but maybe even more so for their loved ones.
Out of curiosity, if you’re willing to share, what was the one word? Before, and after?

Another awesome song, Marvin! It is a sad song, but more and more these days, it is such a glaring reality… I loved it!

They’ve shared a life he can’t remember
They’ve shared a life she can’t forget
She’s the stranger in the mirror
Who combs his hair and helps him dress
They started young raisin’ a family
Seldom took time for themselves
Had a closeness most can only dream
Through rich or poor, sickness and health
Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass
He used to joke “I don’t remember squat”
She’d just say “You work too hard”
Now lost among his scattered thoughts
He still holds her in his arms
Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass
He’ll always be - the husband that she loves
She’ll always see - the father that he was
Before his memory of their history
Was shattered like a mirror into pieces of their past
Like broken glass

Hi Marvin,
thank you for sharing this song. I guess a lot of people know someone with Alzheimer disease or dementia and can relate to what you are telling us. I wonder if it is too sad? It has a bitter taste.
