Somewhere Out There

I was deep in thought over something earlier and I suddenly remember the song "Somewhere Out There" from the OST of the animation "American Tail" back in 1987. Went straight into YouTube and looked for it... Needless to say, I found it:-

This video brings back so many childhood memories; good and bad. I still remember that each time I watched this animation, I will cry. I can't believe that it first came out in 1987. Tonight, as I finished watching this video, I was again touched...

Because I love this song so much and it brings back so many memories, I have pasted the lyrics of the song originally performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram, below. The song was written by James Horner, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. If you can, download the song performed by Ronstadt and Ingram and listen... feel the words.

To all of you (including me) whose family, loved ones (husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, friends) are not with you, worry you shall not, because like you, they are thinking of you...

Somewhere Out There

Somewhere out there,

Beneath the pale moonlight,

Someone's thinking of me,

And loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,

Someone's saying a prayer,

That we'll find one another,

In that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,

It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star,

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,

It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Somewhere out there,

If love can see us through,

Then we'll be together,

Somewhere out there,

Out where dreams,

Come true...

In my very honest, very personal opinion, at the end of the day, what we need to have is faith. The faith and trust that despite the distance or location, we're still loved and thought of.
