[female
vocals] (
Soft
piano
notes
echoing
in
a
quiet
room) (
A
distant
cello
begins
to
weep)
I
remember
the
silence
that
lived
in
my
halls
The
way
that
the
shadows
would
dance
on
the
walls
I
was
drifting
through
seasons
with
no
one
to
hold
With
a
spirit
that
turned
from
the
light
into
cold
I
was
waiting
for
someone
to
soften
the
sting
Of
the
winter
that
wintered
in
everything
Then
you
walked
in
the
room
with
a
look
in
your
eyes
Like
the
calmest
of
oceans
beneath
summer
skies
And
you
gave
me
a
life
I
had
never
known
You
planted
a
seed
in
the
places
I’
d
grown
When
the
world
was
too
loud
and
the
dark
was
too
deep
You
were
the
promise
I
needed
to
keep
Oh,
my
husband,
my
anchor,
my
solace,
my
soul
You
took
all
the
pieces
and
made
them
feel
whole
I
count
every
blessing
that
fell
from
your
hand
Like
the
grain
of
the
desert,
like
shifts
in
the
sand
When
I
was
so
lonely,
a
ghost
in
the
street
You
brought
me
a
love
that
made
living
so
sweet
It
wasn't
just
gestures,
it
wasn't
just
talk
It
was
holding
my
hand
on
the
roughest
of
walks
Your
patience,
a
river
that
flows
through
the
night
Turning
my
shadow
to
shimmering
light
And
you
gave
me
a
life
I
had
never
known
You
planted
a
seed
in
the
places
I’
d
grown
When
the
world
was
too
loud
and
the
dark
was
too
deep
You
were
the
promise
I
needed
to
keep
Oh,
my
husband,
my
anchor,
my
solace,
my
soul
You
took
all
the
pieces
and
made
them
feel
whole
I
look
back
at
the
girl
who
was
shivering
then
And
I
thank
every
star
for
the
place
that
I’
ve
been
It’
s
been
years
of
your
kindness,
a
portrait
of
grace
I’
ve
found
my
true
home
in
the
lines
of
your
face
And
though
time
may
be
fleeting,
and
life
may
move
fast
I
am
anchored
in
you,
and
I’
m
built
for
to
last
And
you
gave
me
a
life
I
had
never
known
You
planted
a
seed
in
the
places
I’
d
grown
When
the
world
was
too
loud
and
the
dark
was
too
deep
You
were
the
promise
I
needed
to
keep
Oh,
my
husband,
my
anchor,
my
solace,
my
soul
You
took
all
the
pieces
and
made
them
feel
whole
Happy
anniversary,
my
love
From
the
lonely
girl
to
the
woman
I
am
Because
of
you
Just
because
of
you (
Piano
fades
slowly
into
silence)
