I dedicated this video to my wife. She is first generation Italian and when we met, her father did not want her to leave home. And, our plans to move south were not received well (to put it politely). My wife had dedicated her life to taking care of her father and mother and being the dutiful daughter; it was terribly difficult for her to leave the nest.
When she realized that I was not willing to wait indefinitely, she packed her bags. I guess this is why I found this song so moving. We've been married for twenty-one years. We still take walks and hold hands. I'm a lucky man.
Despite all our various and sundry circumstances and experiences, don't you think the message of this song is universal?

This is a richly sentimental thread Spade, complimented by your highly personal opening comment. It's a remarkable story of love and devotion and you're surely correct to say you're indeed "a lucky man". (I'd dare add your wife is a lucky woman?)
It's a stimulating collection of images, too, and I'm always interested to try and spot the Spadecaller originals, when you present these videos. Not easy!
And while I'd admit to not being an overenthusiastic Sarah Brightman fan, the message in this song may well be universal.
Thank you!

It is wonderful to have a special love in our lives! The painting displayed the love that you have for your wife! You are both blessed, so continue with what you have been doing to keep it that way!
The paintings are beautiful, they compliment the music!
I feel that I am blessed to be here to enjoy the beauty that exists in the world!
Thanks Spadecaller, excellent!

I had basically the same situation, I moved my new wife 1200 miles to Seattle against her parents wishes 49 years ago. Things have worked out OK, I guess, we sometimes have to hold hands to keep from killing one another. The really neat thing about a long term relationship is that my grandkids are bringing girlfriends and wives around for us to meet. One grandson even brings a little boy to see us...

(Lyrics)
When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory,
But she was blind,
The lark was blind.
the king of the rivers took her to his palace,
Where the walls were burnished
bronze and golden braid,
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an
ivory chalice and he prayed
"Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning.
Set me free, my meadowlark
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel,
And cloth of brocade and crewel,
And I'll love you for life if you will
Sing for me."
(continued)

Than one day as the lark sang by the water
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
And her singing moved him so,
he came and brought her
The gift of sight,
He gave her sight.
And she opened her eyes to the
shimmer and the splendour
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
And he called to the lark in a
voice both rough and tender,
"Come along,
Fly with me, my meadowlark,
Fly with me on the silver morning.
Past the sea where the dolphins bark,
We will dance on the coral beaches,
Make a feast of the plums and peaches,
Just as far as your vision reaches,
Fly with me."
(con't.)

What a softness! The voice is so fresh and so powerful in the same time...I do not even speak about the quality of the images. Marvellous effects! Once again you did well! So suitable with the tribute to your wife. Both of you are very lucky! Thanks Spadecaller and my compliments!

SC: I've been evangelized! LOL
The artwork & the song by Sarah Brightman were indeed stunningly beautiful. Your choreography of the video made it a pure delight to experience.
My wife of 42 years was a God-send. I'd given up hope on finding a lady truly interested in pleasing God, until one day she caught my eye at a youth meeting that the Pastor conducted in his parsonage. She had a beautiful heart and wasn't hard on the eyes to look at either. The Pastor married us a year later.
We love each other even more as the years go by, serving the Lord. -Rev. S
