I hear my cousin singing these lyrics to me. I have always thought of this song as soft and gentle reminder that I must wait for her here. My cousin Jamie Ann Quillen died in a tragic car accident in 1997. We were very close and it was devastating and I was struggling with whether or not I wanted to continue on in this world or join her in the next. The lyrics struck me deeply. She was telling me how she wants me to remember her with the beauty of this earth. She was telling me that she will be gone for what feels like forever but I must wait for her here. I cannot take the easy road and join here there. "And some day you'll take my place and I'll wait for you there". She is there. Patiently waiting for me to join her when the time comes. It's just a beautiful beautiful message that even after 26 years, instantly brings me to tears. I
