I know you’re still here.

the singer Martyn Joesph wrote this song about a close family relative who was developing Alzheimer's and like many of his songs they tackle issues in a sensitive and even informative way.
Surprisingly these words have become a hit partly l feel due to the issue that he address.

one day I guess
Someone will come along and sing this for me.
And there we will be
Running and jumping and sailing the sea.
And there you will teach me the knew things;
To grow but never old.
You’re long gone now.

I know you’re still here.
I know your world is so peaceful,

What takes the place
Of memories and faces and places you’ve been?
And who is it now
Who you see before holding your hand?
Try as I might, could I reach you
To give you back some pride.
You’re long gone now.

I know you’re still here.
Your world is peaceful,
mine is full of fear.
And it’s warm down in your valley
But without you it’s so cold.
I guess we’re carried in sunlight
When the mind begins to fold.



I know you’re still here.
I know your world is so peaceful,
