"I Dreamed a Dream" that you danced the Salsa with the Mambo Kings and smiled as you listened to "Maria of My Soul".
Then Glinda and Elphaba sang "For Good" and bonded as life long friends.
Your smile was as bright as a “Neon Moon”
But somehow, I knew you would be “Gone Too Soon”
The sun was setting with purples and pinks and golden hues,
You never said a word, but it was like you knew
“The Secret of Life” and that “Time will Tell” the story of all that was you.
The stars began to shine in the growing night sky, then you turned and winked with a twinkle in your eye as if to say “I Had the Time of My Life” a then a silent “Good Bye”
"Step by Step" you faded away, even when they played "Please Don't Go Girl".
All I could do was remember your life and listen to “The Music of the Night”
And “All I ask of You” is that when I get to heaven’s gate, “You’ll Be There”.
As Angela loved music, I could not help but remember some of the songs that influenced her life, thru movies, concerts, operas, etc. Each of the songs have meaning. From Les Mis, to Wicked and Phantom; dance scenes from Mambo Kings and Dirty Dancing, songs from Brooks and Dunn, Faith Hill, Wicked, Nelson and of course the NKOTB.
There are many things I want to say. Sometimes words just get in the way and don't accurately describe the feelings. Music never fails. Songs always provide a … phrase or a moment of clarity that help me find peace. My original hope for this website was that sense of peace could extend to everyone. It might provide a means of sharing things they did with Angela or memories or songs or whatever. I hope this site brings a smile to your heart. Angela would not want anyone to dwell on her death, but to celebrate her life.
Thank you
