Moved To Tears By Josh Groban

.                             

                                                                I 
                                                    And the violins 
                                                 And the woodwinds 
                                                            Weep 
                                                 Softly into the night
                                            So moved by the sounds
                                                        Welling up 
                                                    From the depths
                                                        Of the soul 
                                                      That conveys
                                                  The over-whelming 
                                                     Emotional pain
                                                        Contained 
                                                     In every word
                                                Of the song he sings
                                                      ‘Home to Stay’ .

                                                      ~~~~~

Congratulations on your deserving win in the contest, Laine. I too love Josh's music. I cry when I listen to "Vincent" and "I Let You Go", each time I play that cd. Have a great week. Love, Annalise

Elaine, this is beautiful and I love how you write. I have to admit I don't really know anything about this singer but when I googled it just now, the song, you raised me up, looked familiar to me. I knew all the singers in the 60's, 70's and then more and more, I started losing track. Just no time for music except driving to work in my car!! I was really happy to learn SOME other woman on here likes Stephen King!! ALL RIGHT!!! A cool person you are. Luv, Andrea
