Song For Ten Lyrics

Cover art for Song For Ten lyrics by Murray Gold

This was written for the 2005 Doctor Who Christmas special to introduce David Tennant as the 10th Doctor. One of the lines quotes Christopher Eccleston's last episode:

"So have a good life Do it for me Make me so proud Like you want me to be"

And also foreshadows the finale where the Doctor and Rose are separated, at the same spot but in other dimensions, and how the Doctor called out to Rose in her dreams to make a final (albeit interrupted) goodbye:

"Well I woke up today and you're on the other side Our time will never come again But if you can still dream Close your eyes it will seem That you can see me now and then"

You've obviously not seen (or at all understood) the episode, but I'll ignore that for now. This song is not foreshadowing anything. The lyrics about Doomsday were added after Doomsday aired. The person who sung the five minutes worth of song in The Christmas Invasion was not the person who sang this version for the soundtrack, nor was he the person who sang a slightly edited version of this at the first Doctor Who at the Proms.
