    I play this over and over for my Mother, 8 years without you Mum, and I think about you every day. I said you could go and leave your pain, I would be ok without you, I lied. I will never be ok without you. I miss you. I hope your face is the first face I see when it’s my time to leave my own daughter 💔

    My Mom died 21 years ago...it still seems like yesterday. She suffered in pain so long before she was finally diagnosed with cancer. I moved her in with me and I eventually quit my job to care for her. It was so hard watching her deteriorate from the once vibrant woman she was. I’m glad she’s out of pain and I know she’s resting in the arms of the angels. I need to believe that. 💜💜 Thank you Scott and Cynthia for this beautiful song!💜

    I must say this woman is amazing, her voice constantly gives me chills. I was good until that last line "go to sleep", because I literally told my mom on her last day with us (after her 10 years battling with cancer), that I will take care of everything, but she should get rest and go to sleep, just say Hi to Mama.

    My grandma had been struggling in her health and was on hospice. She could barely talk and was having a hard time breathing. Her heart was only functioning at 40%. This song was in my recommendations a few days after I listened to "Stand Up" on UA-cam. I listened to it and cried my eyes out in a Mexican restaurant parking lot. It felt like she was speaking to me. I went to see her a couple days later and let her listen to it while she was in and out of sleep. She passed away the next day. I honestly feel like God sent me this song and allowed me to say goodbye. Thank you for this, it will always be a way I remember her💜

    Dang it! I'm still hooked on POSE, the netflix/fx series. And this song Always, reminds me so much of the pain the HIV/AIDS patients and their loved ones had to go through. That moment with Pray Tell and Costas, oh my, that just moment just killed me. And all the countless times they all had to remember fallen sisters and brothers. Damn that show educated me more than any school about what I know about my community, the LGBTQ.

    if there are times
    you find that that you are feeling weak
    lie next to me
    I'll hold you 'till you fall asleep
    at any time of day
    there's nothing to explain
    I'm always on your side
    Hold on to me
    (I'm always here beside you)
    I'll steal you from the hardest days
    don't be afraid
    You have me here to guide your way
    through storms I will be here
    I will not disappear
    I'm always by your side
    Always
    Always
    Always
    Always
    Always
    And on my heart I promise I will see you through
    when pain arrives
    I'll be right here to hold onto
    with laughter and with prayer
    I promise I'll be there
    Always by your side
    Dry away the tears
    Lay aside your fears
    No more pain for my
    I am here
    now go to sleep
    and when the angels come
    I know that they will treat you well
    and they will pull you through and lift you up from all that's held you down
    There's a heaven out there
    And it awaits just for you
    So close your eyes
    and dream
    and there will be a world you once knew
    A world without the pain that has stuck with you for far too long
    A world that does contain a love like mine to watch you gorow strong
    And when my time arrives
    please wait and make a place for me
    For when I do arrive
    If they should be the first face that I see
    Always
    (goodnight my love)
    Always
    (let my love surround you)
    Always
    (sleep child my love)
    Always
    (I'm always here beside you)
    Dry away the tears
    Lay aside your fears
    No more pain
    for my love
    I am here
    Now go to sleep
    go back to sleep

His name is Allen Scott, I love and miss him. This song brings so much comfort. Thank you ❤
