Question
I heard a country song that is new, like really new. I don't remember any words, but I remember that it made me cry. The song is about a husband dealing with his wife having Alzheimer's. He visits with her and reminisces and the whole time she has no idea who he is. This song is really wracking my brain right now, I told myself to remember even just a line, but I can only remember the premise of the song. I really hope you can help me.
Thanks,
James
Answer
Hi James! The song I think you're looking for is Joey + Rory's new song, "To Say Goodbye." It's so sad that I've only managed to make it through the whole thing once... I've included the lyrics for you below and a link to a video where you can listen to the song. Hope this helps!

Song: To Say Goodbye
Album: The Life Of A Song
He said I’ll call you Hon when I get there,
Ten minutes later he was in the air,
She dropped the kids at school and headed home,
Walked in and turned the front room TV on
She could tell that there was something wrong,
Every channel had the same thing on,
Now seven years have come and gone away,
But she’s still hurting like its yesterday,
‘Cuz she wants to put her arms around his neck,
and look in his eyes so blue,
and say Honey I don’t regret,
A single day I spent with you,
She wants to tell him that she loves him so,
and will until the day she dies,
It ain’t that she can’t let him go,
She just wants to say goodbye
He sits beside her in the nursing home,
Through her silver hair he runs a comb,
He hangs their wedding picture on the wall,
She don’t remember who he is at all,
He tells her stories about the life they’ve lived,
From their first kiss to their last grandkids,
For seven months now she just sits and stares,
But if she wakes up he’s gonna be right there,
‘Cuz he wants to put his arms around her neck,
and look in her eyes so blue,
and say Honey I won’t forget,
a single day I spent with you,
He wants to tell her that he loves her so,
and will until the day he dies,
it ain’t that he can’t let her go,
He just wants to say goodbye
No it ain’t let that we can’t let them go,
We just want to say goodbye
