SHE LIVES WITHIN HER
(T. Beechey)
- Dedicated to Eva Cassidy and Danielle Sproull -
Some time ago, an angel passed too soon before her time
Time has a way of moving fast, she hadn't reached her prime
The dreams she had were unfulfilled, yet her legacy remains
Even though her golden voice is stilled, another takes the reins
And she lives within her
All you have to do is hear
She breathes inside her
It is just so crystal clear
Her spirit guides her
In her voice she does appear
She lives within her
It's just as if her spirit has leapt inside her soul
Saying, “My work shall not diminish, you complete my role
“What I only started is now yours to carry on
“Even though from life I'm parted, through you I am not gone.”
And she lives within her
All you have to do is hear
She breathes inside her
It is just so crystal clear
Her spirit guides her
In her voice she does appear
She lives within her
You only have to listen and you realize
Each song she sings glistens and her angel in the skies
Is smiling down upon her from the first note to the end
She considers it an honor and considers her a friend
They never knew each other, but now they are as one
Since the day she discovered where the magic had begun
Each note she held was golden in every song she sung
Like the tides which have rolled in, it was magic when she sung
That magic now continues in a voice that's just as pure
Allowing for brand new views to her gift which does endure
Some time ago, an angel went before she had a choice
Those moments are reborn again through another's golden voice
And she lives within her
All you have to do is hear
She breathes inside her
It is just so crystal clear
Her spirit guides her
In her voice she does appear
She lives within her
