We will be attending the Worldwide Candle Lighting tomorrow. On the web page about this event there is a video. It features the song Precious Child by Karen Taylor-Good. The song grabbed me. It’s beautiful and amazing. I found a video on YouTube that just has the song – no info about the Candle Lighting.
Warning – if you’ve lost a child, this video will make you cry. Sometime you just need to cry. Here is the perfect mood music for the occasion.
The lyrics say it all.
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious childIn my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
‘Cause you are with me stillIn my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho’ it may be true that we’re apart
You will live forever… in my heartIn my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious childIn my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me stillIn my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho’ it may be true that we’re apart
You will live forever… in my heartGod knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there’s a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until thenIn my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho’ it may be true that we’re apart
You will live forever… in my heart
