Story Behind The Song

I had triplets that were born early and didn't survive. I wrote this song in their memory.

Song Description

This song expresses the desire to remember and to have others remember someone who you loved so very much and who died too young.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I believe the sun was shining while our tears were coming down.
And I said, "It's such a beautiful day." And you said, "My love, we're going to be ok."
The leaves were red and yellow, orange and brown
We held on to every bit of hope we found
(Pre-chorus)
All that I want to do is shine a light on you.

(Chorus)
I want you to be a ripple in the water
I want you to be a rainbow in the sky
Let it be heard, let it be clear
Let it be known that you were here.

(Verse 2)
Every dream I've ever dreamed, every wish I've ever made
Tiptoes in and out of darkness, like ghosts in a parade
When I hear my inner voice, when I listen to its call
I hear a symphony of music playing in an empty hall.
(Pre-chorus)
Then the choir starts to sing along; the violins all play
I haven't done it in a while, but I begin to pray...

(Chorus)
that you will be a ripple in the water
I want you to be a rainbow in the sky
Let it be heard, let it be clear
Let it be known that you were here.

(Bridge)
You walked in our souls and you touched us so deeply
You pulled us so close and you changed us completely
All that I want to do is shine a light on you.

(Chorus)
I want you to be a ripple in the water
I want you to be a rainbow in the sky
Let it be heard, let it be clear
Let it be known that you were here.
