Story Behind The Song
Belive it or not, this song was written for Robert Redford's girlfriend who lost her sister a few years ago. It was written to bring comfort to her as she was a good friend of mine.
Song Description
Death is inevitable to all of us...yet we fear it so. If we could only understand that there is no end...but a new beginning...we'd not be afraid. If we could understand that death is just a way to pass from this mortality to immortality, where we will see our loved ones again...we'd be less fearful of it when it comes upon us.

Lyrics
I don't want to say goodbye, but it's time to spread these wings and fly.
I know it's hard to understand when the hourglass runs out of sand.
Lift your head and don't you cry.
'Cause we all have to someday die.
Just remember that I'll always care.
Call my name and I'll be there.
Holding you in the night
I know you can't see me, but feel this my light, softly...
brushing the dark away
listen and you'll hear the words that I say.
Where my soul flies, I'll be here tonight
Where my soul flies, I pray you'll be allright...you'll be allright, sleep tight.
You'll be allright.
When you're tired and growing old and your life on Earth begins to fold.
You'll find that it will all begin.
I will see you and hold you again.
Holding you in the night
I know you can't see me, but feel this my light, softly...
brushing the dark away
listen and you'll hear the words that I say.
Where my soul flies, I'll be here tonight
Where my soul flies, I pray you'll be allright...you'll be allright, sleep tight.
You'll be allright.
