It'll Take Him Away

He's home, tired, sad and lonely
She's been gone now nearly a year
He find's comfort looking at old photos
But pictures can't replace her

His son stops by, he sees his grandkids
Oh he loves them but he don't know their names
He reads a card that says Happy Birthday
But he can't remember his age

Chorus:
And his family deals with the pain
His memory grows worse every day
There's nothing they can do
She went through it, too
And they know it'll take him away

A year's gone by, he's living with his son now
And he won't go into the old folks home
He calls for Martha but she don't come to him
His son reminds him that she is gone

CHORUS

Oh there's nothing they can do
She went through it, too
And they cried when it took him away
