Catherine Corelli Morning Dance
You came in the morning,
So young and fragile,
All pretty and soaring
Like you were a child…
So gently you smiled.
You were twenty seven
Not older, I guess,
Your eyes were like heaven,
No trace of a stress
Or unhappiness.
You said ‘Good morning, daughter!
The sky is bright and clear,
And I am glad we are here.’
You said ‘Good morning, daughter!
You’re safe ‘cause I am near,
And you’ve got nothing to fear…’
Sun beams fell
From high above,
Birds flew around,
When you danced in the light
You smiled tenderly and said
You never died.
Fresh wind blew,
The sea was blue
And calm as you
Laughed and danced in the light…
Then gently you smiled and said
You never died.
How come I think
You’re no more among
The living?
Sure you are.
How come I think
You are gone and
We’re no more to
Meet?
The rose’s sweet odour
Melted with the breeze,
It’s taking me over,
It brings me contentment and peace.
We talk of the future
Enjoying the now,
Are feelings are mutual,
And I’m cured somehow
From every flaw.
I said ‘Good morning, mother!
So glad to see you, dear!
Don’t vanish, don’t disappear.’
I said ‘Good morning, mother!
You’re safe ‘cause I am near,
And you’ve got nothing to fear…’
Sun beams fell
From high above,
Birds flew around,
When you danced in the light
You smiled tenderly and said
You never died.
Fresh wind blew,
The sea was blue
And calm as you
Laughed and danced in the light…
Then gently you smiled and said
You never died.
You’re so beautiful and young
Dancing in the sun,
And the sweetest day had just begun,
There’s a lot to be done…
How come I think
You’re no more among
The living?
Sure you are.
How come I think
You are gone and
We’re no more to
Meet?
Sun beams fell
From high above,
Birds flew around,
When you danced in the light
You smiled tenderly and said
You never died.
Fresh wind blew,
The sea was blue
And calm as you
Laughed and danced in the light…
Then gently you smiled and said
You never died.
You never died…
