Long before my mother passed, she handed me a cassette tape with this song on it and said she’d like it played at her funeral. We did play it (on a smart phone), and it brought such comfort to me and my sister. The song still makes me cry (who gets over losing their mother, after all - she was my best friend) but I am sure she is waiting for me.
My own mother got sick last year, and because I was also sick, In could not fly there to see her. She died in March, and I could not go (Covid). This song takes me to the same place Carly went when she wrote it.
The great thing about Carly is her ability to write music, sing beautifully, and the clarity of her voice, every word is concise, unlike much of the garbled garbage you here today.
