Song Lyrics

Echoes of Love

I hear the echoes of eternity.
They come so clearly when you’re near.
I see the memory of a glorious place
A place before this mortal sphere.

Sometimes I wonder, when I walk with you
If we walked together long ago?
Before the time we left our home above.
There’s so many answers I don’t know.

But it comes so clearly now when I hear you call my name.
When you hold me close to you
I know that I love you.
We share a love that strong.
With you I can’t go wrong,
And as I sing this song I love you so.

Sometimes I felt alone and called your name.
I thought you’d never hear me call.
But no matter where you were you always came
And you helped me stand again so tall.

And looking back at all the times we shared
You’ve always helped me find my way.
I thank you for the many times you’ve cared.
Our love will never fade away.

For it comes so clearly now when I hear you call my name.
When you hold me close to you
I know that I love you.
We share a love that strong.
With you I can’t go wrong,
And as I sing this song I love you so.

The Story Behind the Song

This was one of the first love songs I wrote, and I dedicated it to my husband's sister Hiltje who for her wedding 6 months after David and I were married. It reflects the blessings that come from being married in the temple, that gives love a deeper and eternal nature and provides an eternal perspective when facing the challenges that come through the years together.
