Reflections

Reflections of my life reveal

so many misty memories

Of me, as a tiny child in Wales

of mountains streams and daydreams.

I'd sing all through the days and there

in the chapel with the organ playing.

I knew from the very start

that music was in my heart to stay

with me all the way

each and every day of my life.

And though I was only six years old,

My soul was so much older

with the joy and love to lead me on

and angels on my shoulder

So now that my heart is heavy

and the world seems too demanding

I go to that other place and smile with her happy face

She's there with me everywhere

And we breathe the sweet mountain air.

I travel a long and winding road

to all of life's directions

and now in the mirror I can see it all in these reflections

and through all my ups and downs

disillusion, joy and wonder

we stand in the golden light

one voice reaching through the night

At last the present and the past

live together here in my heart.
