Passing Through Songtext
von Ronan Tynan

There′s a quiet sense of beauty
In that lost and loving smile
I can almost see the angels take a bow
In their hurry to impress her
As only they knew how
Then I sit and ponder life for just a while

Where the ivy grows in silence
At my beloved home
Now that house that rang with laughter stands alone
And our vacant conversations
Like the pictures on the wall
Sadly hold but little meaning anymore


But her strength still burns within me
Like the day she bade me stand
Put some courage in your dreaming
Carve your footprints in the sand
For the dreams are for the dreamers
And the goals for me and you
Light the candle, say "I love you"
On your way to passing through

Someone's waiting in the shadows
For that final curtain call
And somehow that consolation dims the blow

There′s a man and there's a young boy
Brief encounters long ago
There's a joy and there′s a sadness going home
But no turning back the ages
What′s lived cannot be changed
We are part of something greater, that's the same

Now I love her and I miss her
She′s the one who gave me life
She's the one who made the boy and the man


But her strength still burns within me
Like the day she bade me stand
Put some courage in your dreaming
Carve your footprints in the sand
For the dreams are for the dreamers
And the goals for me and you
Light the candle, say "I love you"
On your way to passing through
