(Intro) (instruments) (Verse 1 ) The doctor sat down with a serious face He looked like a man who’d lost a big race He said, "Mary, I have news, it’s a bit of a blow Your short-term memory is starting to go." I looked at his clipboard and said with a smile, "Well, doc, that explains why I've been here a while... And frankly, it’s grand, because now that you mention, I can look at my husband with brand new attention." (Verse 2 ) He said, "It’s Alzheimer’s, early but true." I said, "Can I get that in writing from you? Because next time the bills come, or chores need a start, I’ll just point to my head and say, 'Bless my poor heart!'" He stared at me blankly, completely thrown off He adjusted his glasses and gave a dry cough But I was just sitting there doing the math... I can watch my favorite movies without knowing the path! (Chorus) Oh, I won't remember the bad or the bleak Every single Tuesday will be a sneak peek! I’ll meet new friends daily, though they’re folks I’ve known years I’ll skip all the worry and bypass the tears. By the time it gets heavy, I’ll be out of the room Leaving everyone else with the dust and the broom. (Verse 3 ) So I made up a plan for when things get real hazy If I start wearing flippers, don't think that I'm crazy. I'm throwing a party inside of my head And I’m sleeping till noon in a canopy bed. It’s the ultimate loophole, the finest escape I can misplace the keys and blame it on fate. (Verse 4) The family will scramble, they’ll argue and fret They'll say, "Did she take her white pill today yet?" But I’ll be off sailing on my own private sea Eating cake for my breakfast and wild as can be. They’ll bear all the burden, they’ll sort out the track While I'm having a ball and I’m not looking back. I won't even know that I'm missing a beat Just a lady in slippers, enjoying the street. (Chorus) Oh, I won't remember the bad or the bleak Every single Tuesday will be a sneak peek! I’ll meet new friends daily, though they’re folks I’ve known years I’ll skip all the worry and bypass the tears. By the time it gets heavy, I’ll be out of the room Leaving everyone else with the dust and the broom. (Outro) Yeah, it’s everyone else’s problem down the line... Me? I’m gonna do just fine. Now, doc... what did you say your name was again? [Harmonies] Never mind. Glad to meet you - I will see you again! I will see you again... you'll be a new friend... ...
