Sand and Water

[ForgetMeNot150]

This came on in the car on my way home tonight, and I thought I would share it with you as it sums up just how I'm feeling and others might appreciate it if they haven't heard it before. The artist lost her husband to cancer. I've loved this song for years, but it now has a whole new meaning to me since I lost my beautiful man. I managed to listen to it without crying tonight and sang the chorus loudly so my hubby could hear, so today must be a good day!  Sending you all hugs and strength to get through this pain and loneliness. ♥ 

Sand and Water

by Beth Nielsen Chapman

All alone, I didn't like the feeling
All alone, I sat and cried
All alone, I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt inside

 

All alone, I came into this world
All alone, I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone by

 

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come,
Through the doors, beyond the grave

 

All alone, I heal this heart of sorrow
All alone, I raise this child
Flesh and bone, he's just
Bursting towards tomorrow
And his laughter fills my world, and wears your smile

 

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come,
Through the doors, beyond the grave

 

All alone, I came into this world
All alone, I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone by

Thanks for that; it's amazing how music can touch us esp in times like this.  Definitely helped me in those early days.
