This will actually be posted and I will sing this at our family reunion in Aug.

Untouchable

It doesn't seem like that long ago
When we met here
So many faces and how we've changed
Through the years
But, through it all we've kept us
As close as we could be
There's not a thing I'd change
Standing here with family...

Though some have left us along the way
One by one
To carry on what they left behind
Til' our time has come
But, as I look at you there's just so much
I want to say
We all know that we've been blessed
In the most untouchable way...

We cried, we laughed
Held on when life didn't give back
We sang, we danced
Lived like there's no second chance
But, here tonight, life just became full
Cause, you and I are, and this moment is
Untouchable...

And, though this night may become
A memory
We can have it all again
If we close our eyes to see
So, when we leave and say goodbye
This you have to do
You must remember, always remember
Until I meet up with you

We'll cry, we'll laugh
Hold on when life doesn't give back
Still sing, still dance
Live like there's no second chance
But, here tonight, life just became full
Cause, you and I are, and this moment is,
Untouchable

Saunni
As an old songwriter I have to say this is beautiful.....Jam packed with emotional pleasure as a result of ties that bind!
I hope to be able to hear you sing it.
The title is excellent as it explains so much throughout!

ethome, thank you very much for reading and responding. I like to sing, and of course, I like to write. But, out of anything I've ever done in the presence of others, this song will mean the most.

your writing is wonderful as usual, Saunni. It shouldn't be this far down the page either.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

angels, thank you for all the kind words and for reading this as well. I think the family will like it, so I hope lol. But, I honestly wonder how you can't like something that's from the heart.
