Having recently learned of the passing of my dear blog-friend Rosie's grandfather, I wanted to offer her something to comfort her in this time of sorrow. Losing someone that you love is never easy.
This song, which Rudolf and Klaus wrote in memory of theier deceased fathers is the best I can offer. Klaus has captured something in the lyrics that we all feel at times like this, but seldom are able to express.
At the conclusion of the lyrics on the liner notes is the following dedication: This song is dedicated to the memory of Hugo Meine and Heinrich Schenker. After hearing the song for the first time, I menally added the name of my beloved uncle, Raymond Guy, to that list. Perhaps after hearing it, Rosie might want to add her grandfather's name to the list. I am quite certain that Klaus and Rudolf would feel honored...
A life begins another's over As another day begins Life runs full circle getting older It happens to you It happens to me I do believe you're still around me You're still around me all the time I have no doubt one day in heaven I will see you again I'll see you again, see you again
Break the bread drink the wine In my heart you'll live forever The time to go is never right When we say goodbye While we're here we souldn't waste A day in life to say I love you It's now that I'd just wish so much to see you Eye to eye
When you came home the war was over So many years from my time I was so proud the day you told me You hadn't hurt anyone No one
Break the bread drink the wine In my heart you'll live forever The time to go is never right When we say goodbye While we're here we souldn't waste A day in life to say I love you It's now that I'd just wish so much to see you Eye to eye
