Story Behind The Song
This song really gets to me and makes me think of my grandparents that have been together for over 75 years. My grandmother is not doing well, she is 92, and if she passes, I see my grandfather, who is 95, as this person in this song portrays. It hurts my heart to think of what he will go through if this scenario actually happens, which is very possible. I pray that it doesn't happen, but it is inevitable. This song truly touched my soul and I believe it will also touch yours.

Lyrics
They had been together way too long, for him to start again. So he does most of his living in the past. Round the house he never says a word, till something makes him ask.
Is that you, tapping my window pane
Is that you, or just draft blowin' that candle flame. Something round here keeps my heart from breakin' right in two. Is that you?
