Charlotte & Edwards Song 19/09/01
Sung acapella to the stars.
When I look at the stars tonight
I can see that they’re shining down on you
But they don’t make you any more bright
‘cause you’re already shining so high
And I’m overwhelmed by the joy you bring
That I feel compelled to let this bursting heart sing
And the sweet sensation of all that release
Is the truest love (joy) I’ve known
And as I’m watching you sleep tonight
(Have I been to where your dreams are taking you?)
I imagine where your dreams are taking you.
And I hope that your sleep knows no fright
And that rainbows are singing their colours to you
(When I speak do I hold your thoughts hand?)
If I break you with my peppered dreams
Just be true in your heart to who you long to be
(Don’t deny who you are in spite of your dream)
And remind me of stars we each bring
To the skies that make up the aurora we see
And be firm in love and be firm in life
Turn one ear to the lesson
And one ear to the strife
May your independence and pursuit of the goal
Be enough to give your tender heart wings
I am warmed by your laughter’s embrace
Lift me up
Lift me higher
With your soul and grace so pure
Take me on a journey beyond myself
And I’ll hold you hand all the way, secure
Lift me up
Lift me higher
Let me bask in all your grace
Let me raise my arms into the clouds
And regard the human race
With devotion as is in your face.
When you speak do I hold your thoughts hand
Do I comfort your soul as like you comfort me
Do I understand all that you hope
Do I cherish your dreams as if they were my own
Should I ever fail
To be all that you need
May your hearts own strength case the wanting that bleeds
I will kiss your hardship
And your longing will ease
And together we’ll be strong
In life and ever long
And your sparkling eyes and your fair blonde hair
Are the friends of your face and the smile that lives there
And I catch my breath and remind myself now
That this gift is not only my dream
But the dream of your life it would seem.
