when memories fail

who cares when memories fail
who remembers
who cares in the end
who remembers

when memories fail...
as they do in an aging mind
the written words will keep who i am
from being left behind

when the mind goes...
as it does as time goes by
the written words will keep who i am
alive
and high

who cares
who remembers

the blues come when we forget who we are
the lows come when we forget what we mean
depression comes when we forget the star
we cast our dreams upon
and life is over when we forget we were here
when we are gone

the saddest thing in life may be
when trust is betrayed
especially when you trust someone
with the memories
and all the plans you've made

who cares
who remembers

when memories fail...
as they do in an aging mind
where are the written words
left behind

when the mind goes...
as it does as time goes by
where are the written words
that kept me high

all the reminders i wrote
all the songs i sang
the tapes were made to be the map to me
understand

who cares
who remembers

i trusted you with all that
the map that leads to me
where are you now
who can remind me
who i am?

when memories fail...

who cares
who remembers

when memories fail...

who cares
who remembers

when memories fail...

who cares
who remembers
