Sing me to Heaven

"In my heart's sequestered chambers lie truths stripped of poet's gloss

words alone are vain and vacant, and my heart is mute.

In response to aging silence, memory summons half-heard voices

And my soul finds primal eloquence and wraps me in song, wraps me in song.

If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby

If you would win my heart, sing me a love song

If you would mourn me and bring me to God, sing me a requiem,

sing me to heaven

Touch in me all love and passion, pain and pleasure

touch in me grief and comfort, love and passion, pain and pleasure...

love me, comfort me, bring me to God,

sing me a love song, sing me to heaven..."
