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.
