To Where You Are
Chloë Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 speakYou'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
Everyday
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
The lyrics of Chloe's song "To Where You Are" speak of the longing for someone who has passed away. It begins with the uncertainty of whether or not the person is still present in the world, and the feeling of their memory surrounding the singer. The stillness of the moment allows for the person to hear the voice of their loved one and be inspired by them. The chorus speaks of the belief that the person is watching over the singer from above and the wish to be with them in that place. The second verse speaks of the possibility of the person being present within the singer's dreams and how faith allows for the belief in things that cannot be seen. The final chorus repeats the desire to be with the departed loved one, knowing that they are only a breath away.
The lyrics are poignant and emotional, speaking to a universal desire to be reunited with those we love who have passed on. The song has been covered by many artists, including Josh Groban and Celtic Woman, and has been used in funeral services and other memorials. The simple arrangement of piano and string instruments adds to the emotional weight of the lyrics and the soaring chorus calls to mind the idea of ascending to be with the departed loved one.

He has never left you my love. He simply awaits your return home so that your heart may be at rest. But rest now, knowing he is with you every day, and that you will see him inevitably. Much love to you

Chloe was our favorite of the Celtic Women. I lost my sweetheart on April 11, 2017. I found this video this morning and it somehow brings me closer to him. Thank you.
