Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song about my dad who passed away in 2009. I was in the studio with Andrew Machin and we needed one more song for my album so I sat down and started this and we wrote it together.

Song Description

This song is about someone reflecting on life with someone they love who has passed away.

Lyrics

I can still see you swinging me in circles
with my hands in yours the world was simple
wind blowing through my hair
ponytail in the air
you showed me how it felt to fly as a little girl

I used to think you could touch the stars
now I'm looking up and I know where you are

I feel your light shining down on me
because you lived that's why I believe
I see your smile in my memory
can you hear me sing
looking out at the stars tonight
send a whisper through the sky
to let you know i'm doing fine
can you hear me sing

I've been sitting here flipping through old photographs
close my eyes for a while to try and bring you back
just when I feel you here I open my eyes and you disappear
and my heart falls like the picture from my hand

I used to be afraid of letting go
scared of what I might forget but I want you to know

I feel your light shining down on me
because you lived that's why I believe
I see your smile in my memory
can you hear me sing
looking out at the stars tonight
send a whisper through the sky
to let you know i'm doing fine
can you hear me sing

I said I love you when we said goodbye
I didn't know it would be the last time
I should have held on for the rest of my life

I feel your light shining down on me
because you lived that's why I believe
I see your smile in my memory
can you hear me sing
looking out at the stars tonight
send a whisper through the sky
to let you know i'm doing fine
can you hear me sing
