When you forget your own address
and find yourself on strange streets,
we'll sell your car, and I'll drive you
to all the places you need to go,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When you forget how to dress
and end up with three sweaters,
two sets of panty hose, and a
slip on over your dress,
I'll help you go out,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When the words on the menu
don't match the pictures in your mind,
and you keep ordering things you won't eat,
then I'll order the food
that I know you'll enjoy,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When finding your way at church is frightening,
I'll take you to your class and pick you up
and let you sit with me in big church.
If the sermon seems long and you get sleepy,
I'll let you put your head on my shoulder,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When hot and cold faucets confuse you,
I'll put you in a tub of warm water
and give you a bath,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When you forget who people are
and can't tell your family
from total strangers,
I'll be your memory
and tell you their names,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When they're having a party
for all the residents,
and you want to go
but don't know what to wear,
I'll make you a costume
that everyone will envy,
like you did for me
when I was a child.

When you forget who I am,
not just my name or my birthday,
but that you ever had children,
then there isn't much I can so
but go somewhere and cry,
like sometimes did
when I was a child.
