You Raise Me Up, To More Than I Can Be Options

[Patti]

I woke up yesterday morning with this Josh Groban song playing in my head and couldn't help but think it was a gift from Neko:


"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up: To more than I can be.

What a wonderful gift from Neko.

Josh Groban is so talented. His song "To Where You Are" (I think that's the name of it) reminds me of Shiloh and Hobbie...I cry everytime I hear it.

Kathleen,

I wasn't familiar with "To Where You Are," so I had to look up the lyrics online and then play it on Rhapsody to see if I had heard it before. Yes, the words are quite beautiful. I apologize if I make you cry again, but I wanted to share them in case there are others who didn't know about it.

"To Where You Are"

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Patti, thank you so much for posting those lyrics! They do make me cry, but it's such a beautiful song...and so appropriate for our little furry friends who have passed on.

If you don't mind, I'm going to copy and paste them in to my tribute for Shiloh, and also my tribute for Hobbie...when I write it.

Thanks again.
Hugs,
Kathleen

What a beautiful gift from Neko, I am still waiting on a sign from Herbie that he is ok and happy, I am hoping for a rainbow or somthing else that reminds me of him, The first rainbow I remember seeing was at my grandparents house when I was 7 and Herbie was there. Thsoe lyrics are so beautiful too.
