Did you miss the season finale of America's Got Talent? Me, too, and so tonight I watched it on Hulu. I've found a new favorite song; and I think I'm going to add Jackie Evancho's first album to my Amazon Wish list. I hope she has this song on there. Watch the video, and you will see what I mean.
Yes, that little girl is only ten years old. Ten! The feelings I felt while listening to this song are indescribable, and a dear friend gave me a brief interpretation. I decided to look it up. Now I'm going to get real personal. Next week is Clarissa's fifth birthday. I can't help but watch those two sing and think of me and my little girl. I love her, and I know you'll hear more about her in the next week.
Sissy, I love you and miss you. This song's for you. . .
Time to Say Goodbye
----------------------
When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
And words fail;
Yes, I know there is no light
In a room
Where the sun is not there
If you are not with me.
At the windows
Show everyone my heart
Which you set alight;
Enclose within me
The light you
Encountered on the street.
Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall experience them.
When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
And words fail,
And yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me.
With me, with me, with me,
Time to say goodbye,
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
With you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you,
I with you.
Um, wow. Seriously.
