Alright, so I have my sister to thank for my latest music obsession. Several months ago she asked me to find her anything by a group called "Celtic Woman" well I never got around to it but the other day at Target I found their CD and thought, "Hey, I'll get this for Em since she's coming in a couple of weeks and I never got her a Christmas gift." When I told her I got it for her she was. . . overjoyed is putting it mildly. :) Anyway, I mentioned to her that I might go ahead and open it and upload it to our computer so I could have it on my iPod, she says to me,"Do it!" Heh, so I did. *sigh* I'm now in love with them. They are soooo good. Words can not begin to describe just how good they are. I picked a favorite song in the first listening of the album and "power learned" the words in a few hours. Yes, now I sing it when no one is around, I won't torture people with having to listen to me attempt to sing along. :) But I love this song like none I've heard in a very long time and the reasons are my own and hard to explain.

"Send Me A Song" - Lisa Kelly (Celtic Woman)

Take the wave now and know that you're free
Turn your back on the land, face the sea
Face the wind now, so wild and so strong
When you think of me, wave to me and send me a song
Don't look back when you reach the new shore
Don't forget what you're leaving me for
Don't forget when you're missing me so
Love must never hold, never hold tight but let go

Oh, the nights will be long when I'm not in your arms
But I'll be in this song, that you sing to me
Across the sea, somehow, someday
You will be far away, so far from me
And maybe one day, I will follow you in all you do
Till then, send me a song

When the sun sets the water on fire
When the wind swells the of your hire
Let the call of the bird on the wing
Calm you sadness and loneliness and then
Start to sing to me, I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song

I walk by the shore and I hear
Hear your song come so faint and so clear
And I catch it a breath on the wind
And I smile and I sing you a song, I will send you a song
I will sing you a song, I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song
