Lyrics
Who She Is
[2021/04/03]
[V]
Eighty-five years old, with her for seventy.
"Truth be told, she's behind his longevity."
When they walk, he talks, and she listens. She cannot recall his name.
To her, he is a stranger, but he loves her just the same. [Break]
[V]
World's one big distraction. Cannot explain her actions,
the fear she has why everything's as it is.
When they walk his hand he gives her, so she knows he's with her.
He'll stay with her as long as they both shall live.
[C]
He smiles, looks into her eyes, and remembers.
She loved being caught out in the rain.
Her love of life was like the constant heat of embers,
never going out.
How he'd love to see that flame again.
He'll not believe he's lost her forever.
She'll forget her heart is truly his.
Says, "She doesn't know who I am, that I understand,
but I know exactly who she is." [Break]
[V]
He'll say, "It started slowly, with little, tiny things."
Like losing the words to the songs, she'd always sing.
"Have you seen my glasses?" While they're in her hand,
she laughs it off as old age because she doesn't understand. [Chorus]
[C]
He smiles, looks into her eyes, and remembers.
She'd cry over every romantic show.
How'd sing the kids to sleep, then go back to take a peek,
how she handled motherhood like a pro.
Not believe he's lost her forever.
She'll forget her heart is truly his.
Says, "She doesn't know who I am, that I comprehend,
but in the end I know exactly who she is."
[B]
While he can, he'll stay her defender.
He'll stay by her side until she leaves.
Never give up, not surrender.
Because deep down, he believes.
[C]
He smiles, looks into her eyes, and remembers.
The day they met while standing in the rain.
That downpour fell that day in late September.
The day they joined forever would remain.
He'll not believe he's lost her, not ever.
She'll forget her heart is truly his.
Says, "She doesn't know who I am, that I realize,
but I know exactly who she is."
[C]
He smiles, looks into her eyes, and remembers.
She'd laughed over any little thing.
She complained about his snores, but not much anymore.
She never ever took off her wedding ring.
He'll not believe he's lost her forever.
Knows she's there inside, that she's his.
Says, "She doesn't know who I am, that I understand,
but I know exactly who she is."
