One Sweet Day

Haven blogged for a long time... and nope, i've not lost my youth ha! Anyway, on my way home from gym earlier on, the Class 95 DJ read out a letter over the radio. A woman wrote in to dedicate a song for her cousin. Well, her beloved cousin passed away suddenly in malaysia due to a heart attack. Sadly, she last met him a month ago, at his wedding dinner. Yes.. he was only married for a month. To make matters worse, she was unable to attend his funeral, unable to bid him the last farewell... She asked Yasmin (DJ) to play a song that could help the family tide over this difficult period..

i was wondering what song Yasmin would choose.. and the moment the song was played, i knew it was such a befitting song for the occasion.. It's an old song by Mariah Carey, and now i truly understand its meaning.

Treasure ...

One sweet day

Sorry i never told you

All i wanted to say

And now it's too late to hold you'cause you've flown away

So far away

Never had i imagined

Living without your smile

Feeling and knowing you hear me

It keeps me alive

Alive

Chorus:And i know you're shining down on me from heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And i know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

Eventually we'll sing in heaven

Darling i never showed you

Assumed you'd always be there

And i took your presence for granted

But i always cared

And i miss the love we shared

Although the sun will never shine the same

I'll always look to a brighter day

Lord i know when i lay me down to sleep

You will always listen as i pray
