“To Where You Are” – performed by Josh Groban

Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for a while to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me every day
‘Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for a while
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

One of the most celebrated songs of 2002 was a piece sang by Josh Groban  “To Where You Are” which  was written by Linda Thompson and Richard Marx. You may often hear the song during cremation services, funeral services and memorials for a dearly beloved person who has died.

I loved this song because of the combination of the melody and the lyrics. Many people cry when they hear this piece during a funeral.

Most of the time when an individual dies, the family members who survived cannot really express how they feel but when they listen to the song and hear the lyrics, they are moved by how the music tells what they feel inside.

This song can be used for the funerals of a wife, a husband, a brother, a sister, a son, a daughter or a dear friend who has been an inspiration to your life.

The song implies that you would still wish to be with a loved one even in death and you hope and pray that they are happy wherever they may be as mentioned in the line, “I wish upon tonight to see you smile”.

The song will help people realize that death is inevitable and that the only way to get past this sad event in life is to accept it. Some powerful and good lines from the song can be engraved in cremation urns or the tombstones of the deceased.
