"When the Train Leaves the Station"

If the train leaves the station but leaves me behind,
If I’ve still got my body, but no longer my mind,
Remember the good times – the fun that we had
But darling keep smiling- no point in being sad.

When that train leaves the station, I’ll no longer be there
Our love will be present though I won’t be aware.
If you come by to visit, I won’t even know
So don’t bother yourself and just learn to let me go.

If the train leaves the station but leaves me behind,
If I’ve still got my body, but no longer my mind,
My heart may be beating but my mind will be gone
So please move on.

If I still had my senses I’d just like to say
That I don’t really want you to see me this way.
Our kinship’s eternal for love never dies.
So smile for us always – no tears in your eyes.

If the train leaves the station but leaves me behind
When I’ve still got my body, but no longer my mind
Remember our story – the good times that we shared
I’ll know you cared.

Beautiful - my Mom died of Alzheimer's over 10+ years - the long, slow goodbye - it had moments of deep beauty and a whole lot of heartache
