To Where You Are - Josh Groban

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
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 is 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 mine
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 is not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away is not far
To where you are
Last night, before I sleep, I played some music to set the mood, to let sleep come to me, and of all artists in my Ipod, I decided to play Josh Groban, and the first song was To Where You Are. The song eventually reached into my heart and I remember loved ones that had gone and in the company of angels. I cried a bit. I felt sad and lonely.
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
These lines, take hold of my heart, and I felt so sad and I missed my father so much. I wished even for a minute, given the chance, just to hug him so tight and kiss him and to tell him how much I love him and how sorry I was for disappointing him and leaving home and not being there. Just a minute.
I kept saying that I never regret anything I did, 'cause I chose to do them, but there is only one and only one thing I did regret, and that is I never told my father how much I loved him and how thankful I am for everything he did. But we never do, do we? We are always too late. That's why, time and again, we are told to never take a day for granted to tell our loved ones how dear they are to us 'cause we never really know.
