about

Lyrics and music by Steve Whiteaker. Performed by The Salty Dogs.

This is a song about a family struggling with Altzheimer's Disease. This song was inspired by Glen Campbell, but I think any family dealing with the tragedy of Alzheimer's can relate to this song.

I am still struggling with long term health problems.

Every little bit helps.

Your support is much appreciated. Thanks.

lyrics

Worn out picture in a worn out wallet
Holds the memories that his mind no longer knows

Worn out words they still linger
From a song he sang so many years ago

Every day could be the last time
That you hear him say the words 'I love you'

Every time he forgets your faces
It's the hardest thing you've ever been put through

CHORUS
A worn out picture is the only proof that someone ever loved him
And it's frozen there for him in white in black
So many things that confound him but so much love surrounds him
but there's no more looking forward to his last years looking back

Worn out eyes too sad to look up
As you struggle to find the right words you need to say

Worn out faces of those that love him
Try to find a way to hold up another day

CHORUS
