Music can be so powerful and moving.
Is there a special song that continues to touch your heart no matter how many times you hear it? Please share with us what you can about your special song, whether there be a meaning behind it and or the lyrics if you can.
Hugs,
Lynda

Homesick by Mercyme brings me to my knees every time I hear it. This song is why I often say "Garion went to his forever home" instead of using the words dead or died. I also have it playing on Garion's website http://www.GarionHight.Last-Memories.com. The first time I heard this song was at Garion's celebration of life party thrown by his friends. They played this song prior to us letting our balloons go with our letters to him. I cry every time!
Hugs,
Lynda

~Homesick~
by Mercyme
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Music has helped me get through so much througout my life. I took piano lessons for 15 years so it was a big part of my childhood. My parents listening to music in the car, being a teenager, hanging out with friends, school, family, my wedding, and deaths. It's a part of everything. I'm really looking forward to reading everyone else's post to this subject and listening to all the songs listed.

There are a lot of songs that remind me of Laura, but the one that brings a tear to my eye is "I Believe" by Diamond Rio. She had a lot of Diamond Rio on her computer, and every word to this song fits perfectly. They played it at her service in Kansas. You can hear it at her website (it's not the default song but it's listed on the right side of the homepage).


I Believe by Diamond Rio

Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it’s like you haven’t been gone a moment from my side,
Like the tears were never cried,
Like the hands of time were pulling you and me.

And with all my heart I’m sure we’re closer than we ever were,
I don’t have to hear or see I’ve got all the proof I need.
There are more than angels watching over me

I believe
Oh I believe

Now when you die and life goes on,
It doesn’t end here
When you’re gone every soul has found a flight
It never ends if I’m right.

Our love can even reach across eternity.

I believe
Oh I believe

Forever you’re a part of me,
Forever in the heart of me,
I will hold you even longer if I can.
Oh the people, who don’t see the most,
See that I believe in ghosts.
If that makes me crazy then I am

Cuz I believe
Oh I believe

There are more than angels watching over me.

I believe
Oh I believe

Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again
And I believe.

These lyrics say it all. They give me the strength to smile and laugh when I think of Laura. Doesn't work all the time. But, When I start to feel so sad that I don't think I can go on, I hear this song in my head. It is the title song on her web site, but I mute the sound when I'm on her site. So go figure. I had never even heard this song until after she was killed.

THINK OF LAURA by Christopher Cross

Every once in a while
I'd see her smile
She'd turn my head around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare right through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way, hey, yeah
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

A friend of a friend
A friend 'til the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without warning

Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way, hey, yeah
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

I know you and you're here
In every day we live
I know her and she's here
I can feel her when I sing

Hey, Laura (Laura)
Where are you now
Are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away


Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way, hey, yeah
When you think of Laura
Well, laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way, hey, yeah
Well, I know she'd want it that way
(Want it that way)
Hey, Laura (Laura)
Hey, Laura
I know you'd want it that way
Hey, Laura

I know that Laura loved me and thought I was a great mom. She would not want me to feel sad and cry. She was always happy when I was happy. And so, I try to honor her by remembering all the wonderful times we had and feel happy that we had her for 39 years.

Wow...how truly touching this topic is. Music has played such a part in my life, from little up. Growing up in a Full Gospel home, the old southern gospel hymns hold such a place in my heart. But for everything that I have been through in my life, the song that relates with me best would have to be "The Dance" by Garth Brooks....because looking back on my life, I wouldn't change a thing. Afterall, it's made me who I am today.

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance


God Bless You All!!!!
Sending all of you gentle (((hugs)))

My song is Only God Knows by a man name Craig Crowder. He is a United Penticostal Evangelist from Austin Tx. (The same kind of Church as I go to). He's very annointed. He came to our candle lighting service a couple of years ago and sang this song. It was beautiful. I wish you could hear it instead of just reading it.


Only God Knows

Sometimes it's easy to ask yourself why?
When the hurt that you feel cuts so deep inside
And it seems like you've lost all your reason for life
Oh but hear what I say and take my advice
Don't give up, you're not walking alone
There's one who's here beside you He's been here all along
And he knows every tear that you cry
And He has the answer to why

Only God knows how your broken heart fits in His master plan
Just when you think your world is falling apart
He's holding your world in His hands
Why must a sparrow fall to the ground?
I don't know but I know God sees
It's beyond my mind...Only God knows why
That's good enough for me.

Why must I watch someone I love so
Whither and die before growing old?
And why must a Mother lose her pride and joy?
And a Daddy say good-bye to his little boy?
I don't know, I only know that it's so
I don't mean to question God with things I'm not meant to know
For my trust is still in Him all alone
Knowing God is still on the throne.

For only God knows how your broken heart fits in his master plan
Just when you think your world is falling apart
He's holding your world in His hands
Why must a sparrow fall to the ground?
I don't know but I know God sees
It's beyond my mind...Only God knows why
That's good enough for me.

I agree with Tonya, "The Dance" by Garth Brooks is the background music for Scott's memory of site. But I can't listen to it. I have my speakers turned off because it hurts me so much to hear it. I can't listen to any music anymore. It's like I'm raw and wounded inside when I hear it.

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance


There's another old country song by Gene Watson, most of you probably haven't heard of him, he recorded a song called "Please don't tell me how the story ends"

This could be our last good night together,
we may never pass this way again,
so let us enjoy it, til it's over....for forever
Please don't tell me, how the story ends

I know I've already posted a song for Laura but I've been listening to a new one off her website and it's a very stong one.

Broken Wing by Martina McBride. If you don't already know, Click here for Laura's story.

Lucy and I were talking today about how she would do anything to make anyone happy, even at her own expense. Including her husband. Another perfect song for Laura. I hope she feels like she's flying and he didn't get the best of her.


Broken Wing by Martina McBride

She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up on her
Give a little then take it back

She'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground
He said Only angels know how to fly

And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly

One Sunday morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breeze

And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly

With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly


I hate you Jimmy. You don't even deserve to rot in prison, but at least that would keep you off the street from destroying another family. I hope the fact you murdered your WIFE who would DO ANYTHING FOR YOU haunts you the rest of your pathetic life.

I totally have a song that does it to me every time, so much so that I have it as the song that plays on Melody's last-memories page. It's "Who You'd Be Today" by Kenny Chesney

LYRICS

Who You'd Be Today
by Kenny Chesney

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughin' in the rain
I still can't believe you're gone

(Chorus)
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

(Chorus)
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Today, Today, Today...
Today, Today, Today...

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday

Someday, Someday...

And also "ONE MORE DAY" BY DIAMOND RIO which was played at his funeral.
I don't have the words to them.

Lynda, I just came back here to let you know that this certain song kept running through my mind last night when I was getting ready for bed. Over and over it went and I began to wonder if I was going to sing it all night in my mind instead of sleeping. What song was it?

I like to oot, oot, oot ooples and banoonoos!

I could just hear the laughter that must have been filling the Heaven's from our boys laughing at me, and see the joy on their faces. I thought to myself and then even said it out loud, I hope ya'll are enjoying yourselves! I really do think they were having big time fun. As for me...I went to sleep without crying myself to sleep last night for the first time in a good while. It was nice.

I just wanted to share this with my special friend this morning and tell you thank you for sharing your special little man with me. Even, if it means eating banoonoos all night long!

I love you, Cindy
