To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star”.

Joyful the sound
The word goes around
From father to son to son”.

He prays to God for sending back his father for his mother, so that she can have a dance with him.

Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved.”
This soulful song, which has been composed by British singer, Ian Hunter, begins with lines; “We walked to the sea, just my father and me

Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand?
I said love’s easier when it’s far away
We sat and watched the distant lights.”
