about

I wrote this song while working as a music therapist in hospice. Every now and then songs just come to you instantly and this song was one of those. I was working with a woman and her daughter. The daughter was sharing stories of the mother's life and there was just so much tenderness and love between them. I thought about how love is truly the only thing that is with us in the end. This song came from this moment of love shared between a mother and daughter.

lyrics

VERSE ONE
When the stars are in the sky
And the moon is climbing high
I can rest my head and know that
I have been so loved

VERSE TWO
All the places that I've been
All the things my eyes have seen
I can rest my head and know that
I have been so loved

CHORUS
All the other things begin to fade
Still this single thought remains

VERSE THREE
As I hold you close tonight
See the memories in your eyes
I can rest my head and know that
I have been so loved

CHORUS

VERSE FOUR
As it's time to say goodbye
See the magic in your eyes
I can hold you close tonight
Knowing I have been so loved
