  Sing Me to Heaven
  Text by Jane Griner
  
  In my heart's sequestered chambers lie truths stripped of poets' gloss
  Words alone are vain and vacant, and my heart is mute
  In response to aching silence, memory summons half-heard voices
  And my soul finds primal eloquence, and wraps me in song
  
  If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby
  If you would win my heart, sing me a love song
  If you would mourn me and bring me to God,
  sing me a requiem, sing me to Heaven
  
  Touch in me all love and passion, pain and pleasure
  Touch in me grief and comfort, love and passion, pain and pleasure
  Sing me a lullaby, a love song, a requiem
  Love me, comfort me, bring me to God
  
  Sing me a love song, sing me to Heaven  less
