I am so grateful for music in my life! My life would be hollow and empty without it. When I'm singing, playing or listening to music, I feel alive; I feel whole.
And music expresses things do much better than I can. Here's one of my favorite pieces. I can't sing it right now without getting choked up, but I love it!!!
How Many Tears?
From Martin Guerre (musical)
Oh Lord, I'm not the one to blame.
Oh Lord, why must I live in shame?
Each night I light a candle in his name.
How many tears through the years must I cry?
How many prayers to the Lord must I try?
Still the pain tears at my broken heart.
Sometimes I feel I was cursed from the start.
All I could hold, all I could see,
So full of promise, each day reaching out before me.
Once... Now there's nothing,
Lost as if you never saw me.
How many tears through the years can I cry?
How many tears until my heart runs dry, through the fights that a girl needs to fight
Only to do what she feels must be right.
Sometimes I wonder if someone hears.
Why must I live through so many tears?
Amazing, right?! And the melody is beautiful!
