Time to Say Good-Bye

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.
