about

A beautiful acoustic song about finding hope and love in the face of unavoidable loss. This song was written by Kelvin Killmon for World Alzheimer's Day, 2017.

World Alzheimer’s Day, September 21st of each year, is a day on which Alzheimer’s organizations around the world concentrate their efforts on raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a group of disorders that impairs mental functioning.

lyrics

It starts with the little things
She’s lost her keys again
They’re over on the windowsill
Right where they’ve always been

She stares into the distance
It’s a picture with no frame
You ask her if she’s ready yet
She asks you why you came

I’m too young to understand,
But I can tell you what I’ve seen
Life is full of losing things
Like time and memories...

And it starts with the little things, they’re easy to misplace
But next thing that you know you'll find you can’t recall a name
One day when you wake up, you won’t recognize this place
Someday everyone you love is just an unfamiliar face

I’m too young to understand,
But I can tell you what I’ve seen
Life is full of losing things
Like time and memories...

Boxes full of yellowed letters
Albums full of photographs 
That stare back from the pages
And drown her in a sea of strangers

All those years of fears and adventure
That disappeared and left her here
With brittle scraps of paper
All the friends she thought she'd have forever
If only they could be right here to help her to remember...

When I talk too fast, I know it’s hard to understand
So I try to tell her in the simplest words I have
How I’m gonna love her ‘till the sky comes crashing down

So let’s laugh about the little things
Let’s laugh about the little things
At least for now…
