Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Once Upon a Dream O
Copyright: 1998
Once upon a dream
I looked out among the stars
and watched a scene
of angels playing their guitars
it's you for me
and anyone who needs to know
there is a Heaven
a better place not far away
and I wonder, as I wander
If you hear my prayers for you
and with each passing day
I hope you know that I still love you
Once upon this life
You ran away, a passing glance
My toil, my strife
Is eased a bit to know you dance
it's you for me
and anyone who needs to know
there is a Heaven
a gift for you that has been given
And I wonder, as I wander
even though you live above
with each passing day
I hope you know I feel your love
Once upon this night
I'll light a candle, though it's far
to pass through the night
To meet the light that is your star
and you and I
can meet again among the clouds
until we meet in Heaven
a dwelling place eternally
And I wonder, as I wander
if your purpose in this life
was to light my way
to guarantee we'll meet in Heaven
...guarantee we'll meet in Heaven
This song was written for my friends Marilyn and Joe who lost their daughter Jodi. They became involved in "Compassionate Friends,".Each year on the 2nd Sunday in December, candles are lighted in every time zone around the world for a "theorhetical" wave of light in rememberance of children who have passed over. Marilyn asked me to write a song for the occasion. When we recorded the song in Nashville, Two of the musicians also were members of Compassionate Friends. This song is to somehow give whatever miniscule level of comfort I could give for grieving parents.
