about

I Wonder is written from the perspective of a man who struggles with his memory. He worries how much of a burden he is becoming to those he loves and how they see him as part of their daily life. This song is also a reminder to those of us who are caregivers not to lose sight of who it is we are caring for.

lyrics

When you look at me, I wonder what you see
Someone you love, or mere responsibility
Inconvenience thrust upon your day
or a bump in the road along your way
I wonder, wonder what you see when you look at me

When I talk to you, I wonder what you hear
Do my words grate against your ears
Ramblings of an old forgotten man
or the stories that remind me who I am
I wonder, wonder what you hear when I talk to you

When I reach for you I wonder what you feel
Does it hurt or somehow help you heal
Tenderness rises from my soul
even if my heart and mind don't know
I wonder, wonder what you feel when I reach for you

Somewhere deep inside, memory springs to life
I can see us clearly, it's 1945
I just got off the train, we're dancing in the rain

When I leave you, I wonder what you'll do
Shed a tear or will you muddle through
Breathe a sigh of sweet relief
because you know I'm finally at peace
Oh I wonder, wonder what you'll do
when I leave you

Oh I wonder, wonder what you'll do
when I leave you
