Tears & Grief

Tonight I went shopping and decided to listen to a cd I'd honestly never listened to before... Sarah Mclachlan's Mirrorball. I bought it years ago but as soon as I realized it was "live" I turned it off in disappointment. (I don't like live cd's) Why I decided to pull it out of hibernation
...I dunno.

Anyway... I was fine until I heard the second song.

And then I sat in Dollar Tree's parking lot and bawled.

(I've adapted it a bit)

Hold On
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold On
Hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe?
This isn't easier than the real thing
My love
You know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
My love
(This cannot) come between us
My love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell?
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face

Oh God if you're out there won't you hear me?
I know that we've never talked before
Oh God! (my sister) is leaving
Won't you take her when she comes to your door?

Am I in heaven here or am I in hell?
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across you face

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
