You Raise Me Up Lyrics

Bridie, I dunno you or your dad, but you have my condolences. It must be very tough. I just realised that this song isn't necessarily a song to a lover, that it can refer to anyone in you're life who "Raises you up." He must've been an awesome dad.

It reminds me of that Celine Dion song "Because You Loved Me". The category of "You're so damn good to me" songs if there is such a category. This sounds like a song I want for my wedding.

This song is so simple yet so inspirational. Seriously, if you're asked to sing this on Australian or American Idol, and you forget for lines... give up. Simplicity and repetition and crescendo can be so effective. If you like this type of song, then check out "Tong Hua by Guang Liang" Its Chinese though, but similar principle.
