Where the river runs to black
I take the schoolbooks from your pack Plastics, wire and your kiss The breath of eternity on your lips In the crowded marketplace I drift from face to face I hold my breath and close my eyes I hold my breath and close my eyes And I wait for paradise And I wait for paradise The Virginia hills have gone to brown Another day, another sun goin' down I visit you in another dream I visit you in another dream I reach and feel your hair Your smell lingers in the air I brush your cheek with my fingertips I taste the void upon your lips And I wait for paradise And I wait for paradise I search for you on the other side Where the river runs clean and wide Up to my heart the waters rise Up to my heart the waters rise I sink 'neath the water cool and clear Drifting down I disappear I see you on the other side I search for the peace in your eyes But they're as empty as paradise They're as empty as paradise I break above the waves I feel the sun upon my face | |

Over the rainbow, out over the lawn, stretch out on this sleepless bed and wait for your kingdom come. Over the night-glow, out under the stars, a whole life to get perfect bliss, just hanging on. See, we've been nothing for far too long, and I've been wondering what went wrong, and, baby, if you can put me all together. Out over the night-glow, out over our loss, a quiet to eat the world and rest in strangers' arms. See, we've been nothing for far too long i've been wondering what went wrong and, baby, if you can put me all together. Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity | |

Don't know if anybody mentioned this tune, but this song makes me bawl every time I hear it! Such a moving, tender song.
Bob Carlisle - Butterfly Kisses Lyrics There's two things I know for sure: She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl. As I drop to my knees by her bed at night She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and I thank god for all the joy in my life Oh, but most of all For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking little white flowers all up in her hair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride." "I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried." In all that I've done wrong I know I must have done something right to deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night. Sweet 16 today She's looking like her mama a little more everyday One part woman, the other part girl. To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls Trying her wings out in a great big world. But I remember Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking little white flowers all up in her hair. "You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time." With all that I've done wrong I must have done something right to deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night. All the precious time Like the wind, the years go by. Precious butterfly. Spread your wings and fly. She'll change her name today. She'll make a promise and I'll give her away. Standing in the bride-room just staring at her. She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there, Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair "Walk my down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time." "Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!" Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right. To deserve your love every morning and butterfly kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is. I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses. Even just reading the lyrics to this song makes me cry. I don't think a song has ever moved me as much as this one does! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Another one: "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. I love the emotion and feeling in Kate's voice as she sings this song. It's hauntingly beautiful!
Kate Bush - This Woman's Work Lyrics Pray God you can cope. I stand outside this woman's work, This woman's world. Ooh, it's hard on the man, Now his part is over. Now starts the craft of the father. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said, That I never said. All the things we should've done, That we never did. All the things I should've given, But I didn't. Oh, darling, make it go, Make it go away. Give me these moments back. Give them back to me. Give me that little kiss. Give me your hand. (I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left.) I should be crying, but I just can't let it show. I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking Of all the things we should've said, That were never said. All the things we should've done, That we never did. All the things that you needed from me. All the things that you wanted for me. All the things that I should've given, But I didn't. Oh, darling, make it go away. Just make it go away now. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I really like her music, her dancing ways... and everytime I see or hear this song/video (her voice, while here), it reminds me eerily how life is here one moment and gone the next, unexpectedly as well as known.

Ex-Moderator | While you are away My heart comes undone Slowly unravels In a ball of yarn The devil collects it With a grin Our love In a ball of yarn He'll never return it So when you come back We'll have to make new love He'll never return it When you come back We'll have to make new love While you are away My heart comes undone Slowly unravels In a ball of yarn The devil collects it With a grin Our love, our love, In a ball of yarn He'll never return it When you come back We'll have to make new love He'll never return it When you come back We'll have to make new love He'll never return it When you come back We'll have to make new love |
