Intro

My veins stopped up, had a heart attack

I asked the doctor what we would do about that

They said we would fix it, whatever it takes

First thing we would do is operate

The neck came first to replace the vein

A piece broke off and went to my brain

Caused a stroke, lost my left arm

But it came back, didn’t do much harm

Six weeks later we did the rest

Four bypasses done after they opened my chest

The operation was smooth, didn’t hurt me at all

The doctors were great, made the right call

Now that its over and I’ve come home to heal

I can now admit its been an ordeal

Out of all the things that happen to me

Was the amazing thing I was permitted to see

That was my wife and the strength she had

She never looked worried or not even sad

I know she was now, its been said

But I never saw it, lying in bed

I could not have made it through this thing

Without the woman who wore my ring

And never left my side

With all the feelings she had to hide

Many times I’d open my eyes

To see her there was no surprise

Smiling wide to hide a tear

Some of happiness, some of fear

Everything I need she had there for
