Alzheimer’s patient 59B,
That’s how they refer to me.
The staff is kind and they do their best,
Bring Ensure shakes and tell me to rest.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
I don’t know my name – I’m just 59B.
Officer’s Banquet and a big band to play,
A great way to end a gut-wrenching day.
White tablecloths and candlelight,
Nat King Cole singing ‘Stardust’ that night.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
I don’t know my name – I’m just 59B.
Emerald eyes and ebony hair,
Her parents forbidding her presence there.
A dance card full – my name listed last,
A life full of love and memories of past.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
I don’t know my name – I’m just 59B.
In shades of sepia my daydreams define,
My life before shrapnel severed my spine.
I went to war strong and returned home lame,
I have two children but can’t remember their names.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
I don’t know my name – I’m just 59B.
As the sun bids farewell I reminisce,
Of my younger years and my wedded bliss.
In my wheelchair I wait and I’m dressed to go,
To the Senior Banquet in the grand gazebo.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
I don’t know my name – I’m just 59B.
White tablecloths and candlelight,
Nat King Cole singing softly tonight.
Banquet of food fit for a king,
Light shining softly on her wedding ring.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
I don’t know my name – I’m just 59B.
As ‘Stardust’ plays I remember my life,
I look to my side and I see my wife.
Patient 59A is my sweet Anne Marie,
She’s holding my hand and she’s smiling at me.
Whatever happened to my sweet Anne Marie?
She’s here with me now in ‘Stardust Memories.’
