Yusuf - Thinking 'Bout You (Cat Stevens)

When i hold your hand,
I could fly a zillion miles with you.
When I see your grace,
I can see you're God's words come true.
Every little bird above the haze,
and fish beneath the waves,
knows about you...
wouldn't they do.

When I see your eyes,
I can see rainbows in the sky.
Being with you,
all who parted reunite.
Every little pearl drop in the clouds,
and stones beneath the ground,
are waiting for you...
wouldn't they do.

Whatever you say
lightens up the burden of the day.
Whatever you do
makes us ever want to follow you.

Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
I'll always love you.

Every burning comet that zooms,
and angels too,
think about you...
wouldn't they do.

Thinkin' bout you,
I could climb a mountain in the dark.
Listenin' to you,
Flowers dance in the park.

Whatever they say,
whatever they do,
We'll always love you.

The words that you say,
lightens up the burdens of the day.
Whatever you do,
makes us want to follow you.

Whatever they say,
Whatever they do,
I'll always love you.




 
'Sand And Water' by Beth Nielson Chapman has been in my head. I can really relate to it.

Lyrics:

All alone I didn't like the feeling
All alone I sat and cried
All alone I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt inside

All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone by

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come
Through the doors beyond the grave

All alone I heal this heart of sorrow
All alone I raise this child
Flesh and bone, he's just
Bursting towards tomorrow
And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile

I will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come
Through the doors beyond the grave

All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water and a million years gone by

There you'll be, by Faith Hill.

When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life

When I think back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

Chorus:
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be

Well, you showed me how it feels
To have the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

Chorus

Cause I always saw in you my life, my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
Always
 
I just discovered this song today..and I think it is perfect for darling Michael..:cry:
It's so sad but it's uplifting too. Honestly please read the lyrics. They're amazing.

When I Get Where I'm Going - Brad Paisley feat. Dolly Parton

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I've missed him
Every minute since he left
And then I'll hug his neck

Chorus

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

.............

Miss you Michael. Hope you're enjoying the other side. :cry:
 
one day in your life/ music and me—Michael jackson
How am i supposed to live without you—Michael Bolton（tho its not a bereavement song, but it always sings in my mind）

i could hardly believe it
when i heard the news today
i had to come and get it straight from you
they said you were leavin'
someone swept you heart away
from the look upon your face i see it's true
so tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
tell me one thing more before i go

tell me how am i supposed to live without you
now that i've been lovin' you so long
how am i supposed to live without you
how am i supposed to carry on
when all that i've been livin' for is gone

OMG Better on the other side.. :cry: I love it.

I like to listen Jackie DeShannon's What the world needs now is love

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.

One of my favourite songs and the lyrics are so true!
 
There youll be - Faith Hill
Written in the Stars - Westlife (which is weird cause im not into westlife but this song is poignant today)

Stay with me
don't fall asleep too soon
the angels can wait
for a moment

come real close
forget the world outside
tonight we're alone
it's finally you and i

it wasnt meant to feel like this

not without you

cause when i look at my life
how the pieces fall into place
it just wouldn't rhyme
without you

when i see how my path
seem's to end up before your face
the state of my heart
the place where we are
is written in the stars

don't be afraid
i'll be right by your side
through the laughter and pain
together we're bound to fly

i wasn't meant to love like this
not without you

cause when i look at my life
how the pieces fall into place
it just wouldn't rhyme
without you

when i see how my path
seem's to end up before your face
the state of my heart
the place where we are
is written in the stars

made a few mistakes, yeah
like sometimes we do
been through lot of heartache
but i made it back to you

cause when i look at my life (yeah)
how the pieces fall into place (into place)
it just wouldn't rhyme
without you (without you)

when i see how my path
seem's to end up before your face
the state of my heart
the place where we are
is written in the stars

look at my life
how the pieces fall into place
it just wouldn't rhyme
without you

when i see how my path
seem's to end up before your face
the state of my heart
the place where we are
was written in the stars

the state of my heart
the place where we are
was written in the stars

I have always loved this song by Sting. Sting wrote for a friend of his who I believe was dying of AIDS. But I think that you can apply it to anyone that passes away and your wish for them as well as relaying how you feel.


Here is link to the video

Footprints in the Sand by Leona Lewis is a song I listen too when I am having a night when Michael's passing is hitting me extra hard:

You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I’m going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much I no along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid ooh
And just when I
Have thought I’ve lost my way

You give me strength to carry on
That’s when I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

When I’m weary
Well I no you’ll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand x 2
 
Those songs are good especially I Never Thought You Leave In The Summer and Better On The Other Side. I finally just heard Better On The Other Side from The Game. And I just love it and it is perfect. I also think these songs are also good:


One Sweet Day-Mariah Carey
Everyday-Phil Collins
Wish You Were Here-Blackmore's Night
Again Someday-Blackmore's Night
Cruel Summer-Bananarama


Cruel Summer is one of my absolute favorite 80s songs. But now I just think of Michael when I hear it now. Because he was taken away from us in the Summer.
