I've found a way
A way to make you smile
I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
To awkward rhymes
You always say your name
Like I wouldn't know it's you
At your most beautiful
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly
With every one, whisper, "I love you"
I let you sleep
I know your closed eye watching me
Listening
I thought I saw a smile
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can't believe that I believed
I wished that you could see
There's a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
In all this talk of time, talk is fine
But I don't want to stay around
Why can't we pantomime
Just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Me and you with wings on our feet
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
I want the humming birds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I look into the stars
I look into the moon
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

My mum used to play this song to me every evening before bedtime when I was a little girl. I used to demand to listen to “elephant up the stairs” every evening whilst jumping frantically on the bed holding her hands.
This has always been our song. She passed away 2 weeks ago yesterday and I listened to this on the car journey home from the hospital after her passing away holding my hand.
She was the love and light of my life. My best friend, my soulmate, my greatest confidant, supporter, and had a heart of gold. Our bond was ethereal and other worldly. It was greater than anything that could be explained in this life. It was gifted from the great beyond.
Love you forever mumma. ❤️

Your mom is part of the Great Beyond now, watching over you and bending spoons and keeping flowers in full bloom - for the sweetest dreams of you. ❤
My dad and I loved Andy Kauffman and watched his old routines and appearances. This March, it will have been six years that I've had to live in a world without him. My heart goes out to you.
@hannahds1
@@SpacePriestess What a wonderfully kind, heartwarming response. Thank you. I believe wholeheartedly that they’re both bending spoons and keeping flowers in full bloom from a better, great beyond.
I’m sorry it’s been six years without your dad. Anytime without them is far too long and you have my respect for still standing strong. It’s lovely to have songs/media that remind you of them and take you back to happier times. All the best to you
@dande5009
Sorry for your loss. I’m glad you have these kinds of memories to hold onto ❤
@nirajshah5411
I'm so sorry for you loss. And I second what @SpacePriestess said. Your bond was/is ethereal and other worldly, and still is. Sending you love
@nirajshah5411
@@SpacePriestess Great reply to @hannahds1, I totally agree. I'm so sorry for you loss of your dad. I agree with @hannahds1 reply to you that they're both up there looking out for you two. Sending you love

I never paid enough attention to R.E.M. when I was younger. Now I’m 40 and it’s just what I need. Never too late when it comes to great music
@shamfrog67
I understand. I discovered REM while in middle school in the early 1980s. Their music was integral in my life thru high school and college. I also spent a lot of time in Athens, Ga visiting friends and partying where REM was always played. Their older songs bring back so many memories. Even though you're in your 40s, the music sticks with you and shapes your life.
