I've been preparing for this, and now I was just reminded on the radio again- today it is here, the 10th anniversary of the tragic events on 9.11.2001 that in many ways changed the world as we know it.
I'm having a moment of silence, thinking about the thousands of victims.
This song by Emmylou Harris is a testimonial to the victims. I have learned that the background for the lyrics are the conversations between the victims in the twin towers, and their loved ones.
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - If This Is Goodbye
I'm having a moment of silence, thinking about the thousands of victims.
If This Is Goodbye
Those famous last words are lying around in tatters
Sounding absurd whatever i try
But I Love you, and that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye if this is goodbye
Bright shining sun, would light up the way before me
You were the one, made me feel I could fly
And I love you, whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye if this is goodbye
Who knows how long we got, or what we're made of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love, I know there is our love
Those famous last words could never tell the story
Spending unheard and the dark of the sky
But I love you, and this is our glory
If this is goodbye, if this goodbye
If this is goodbye, if this goodbye
Those famous last words are lying around in tatters
Sounding absurd whatever i try
But I Love you, and that's all that really matters
If this is goodbye if this is goodbye
Bright shining sun, would light up the way before me
You were the one, made me feel I could fly
And I love you, whatever is waiting for me
If this is goodbye if this is goodbye
Who knows how long we got, or what we're made of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love, I know there is our love
Those famous last words could never tell the story
Spending unheard and the dark of the sky
But I love you, and this is our glory
If this is goodbye, if this goodbye
If this is goodbye, if this goodbye
