Slipping Away - James

SLIPPING AWAY — James Some love stories become even more tender as the years go by. “Slipping Away” is a moving country song about a husband watching the woman he has loved for forty years begin to lose pieces of her memory. Their bodies are growing older, the garden isn't what it used to be, and even his fingers no longer cooperate with the strings of his old Martin. But she is still beside him. They still lie together remembering their life, and when the changes become difficult to bear, he holds on to the one thing that hasn't faded: his love for her. A song about memory, aging, devotion, and remaining beside someone when love is asked to carry more than either person ever expected. Words and Music by Joe McMichael © 2025 Joe McMichael.
