How are you
Nick and Greg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 awhile 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
'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 awhile
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 "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban are a moving tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The song speaks of the eternal and unbreakable bond of love that transcends any physical distance or boundary. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing for the departed loved one and a deep yearning to be reunited with them, even if only for a moment.
The opening lines suggest a sense of uncertainty about whether the loved one is truly gone or still present in some way. The singer feels the loved one's presence all around them and their memories are fresh and vivid. The stillness described in the lyrics creates a powerful atmosphere of introspection and reflection.
The chorus speaks of the desire to be near the loved one, beyond the distant star, to see their smile and know that they are there. The message is one of hope, and the idea that love can transcend even death. The lyrics are full of deeply felt emotion and a longing for something that cannot be fully fulfilled.
Interestingly, "To Where You Are" was originally written by the composer Richard Marx as a tribute to his father who had passed away. However, he felt the song was too personal and decided not to release it. He later played the song for Linda Thompson, who in turn shared it with Josh Groban. This led to Groban recording the song and it becoming a hit. In fact, this song was one of the tracks featured in Trump’s inauguration ceremony of President's concert that was held in Lincoln Memorial.
