Song

Soon after I became a widow, someone posted a song on my widow support board. The song had been written by a 17 year old girl who lost her father. She won an award for young song writers, and I fell in love with her song. Even though she wrote it about her father, I could so relate to it from losing Joe. When you read the lyrics, I think you will understand why. I couldn't find the song for the past two years. I lost it and couldn't find it through google. Today it showed up on my computer. I don't know how or why, but it was there. Someone on the widow board then helped me find the lyrics. I hope you'll take a listen, and read the lyrics while doing so.

Lyrics And Music Composed By Gin Wigmore

Take your last step towards heaven and its glow
Take your last breath of sunlight, don't let it go
Take your last look to remember, so that you know

I wont let you fade from no mind
I wont let you fade from no minds
I wont let you fade from no minds

Hallelujah for these eyes to see your painted life
Hallelujah for the touch of skin to skin with mine
Hallelujah for this mind that keeps our souls combined
Hallelujah for this life that let me be your child

Have your mind, have your strength to stay alive Keep your eyes open with mine

You followed the road for the angels and you left me behind
A face without words can last a lifetime but it's never the same
So, don't say goodbyes that last forever just for a while
Because I'll be by to see you some day soon

Hallelujah for these eyes to see your painted life
Hallelujah for the touch now of skin to skin with mine
Hallelujah for this mind that keeps our souls combined
Hallelujah for this life that let me be your child

Hallelujah, to be a part of your life
To see inside of all your smiles
You're a traffic light of fire
You're a man who I believe will never die
