When the Lights Go Down

16 January 2006


She sung of Fireflies all in faith
Her belief in fairy tales
and a Kiss of grace
Of her wanting to Breathe
like the beautiful soul she was

Then could it be
Like we never loved at all
For what was love to Cry
how could you just walk on by

This dealing with the pain
forgetful to feelings you have
This magic and passion lost in a kiss

Her country sound a soul away
her being close in whisper heard
To cry without the gloss of beauty
in this darkness fragmented to life

“for Faith Hill”



One of the biggest female country stars of the 1990s, Faith Hill, born Audrey Faith Perry on
21 September 1967, in Jackson, Missouri, and grew up in the nearby small town of Star.
She was singing as young as age of 3 and first performed publicly at a 4-H luncheon
when she was 7 years old.

Faith Hill released her debut album, Take Me as I Am, in late 1993. Touring with Tim McGraw
in 1996, Faith Hill married McGraw in October that year. The single "This Kiss" topped the
country charts for 3 weeks, to also became her first pop hit, climbing to number seven in
the pop charts.

Faith Hill has recorded and released several albums, EP’s and singles, including: This Kiss (1998),
Breathe (2000), The Way You Love Me (2000), Cry (2002), Like We Never Loved At All (2005)
and Fireflies (2005).
