Recalling my dad's struggles with a failing memory

[First verse]                            
When I was eight
Out with the family for the day 
I got lost in the crowd and couldn’t find my way
All alone and afraid until I saw your face
And I ran into my father’s warm embrace
 
[First Chorus]
As long as you’re here
As long as you’re here
I can brush aside my fears and hold back tears
As long as you’re here

[Second Verse]
Much later when
Your bright light had started to go dim
In a tempest of disconnection your thoughts would swim
Breaking through the storm my mother’s face would glow
Like a beacon pointing out the way back home

[Second Chorus]
As long as she’s there
As long as she’s there
You have found somewhere with peace beyond compare
As long as she’s there

[Bridge]
And then when your fading light could not ignite the memory of my face 
You would see me as a friend, but   in your grin I know I’ve found my place

[Outro Chorus]
As long as you’re here
As long as you’re here
Every moment you are near I’ll hold so dear
As long as you’re here
My purpose is clear
If I bring you comfort you will bring me cheer 
As long as you’re here
As long as you’re here
As long as you’re here
As long as you’re here
