Her voice sends shivers down my spine,
This lady of music,
With a voice so pure that is stirs my soul.
Her life was filled with music
That she shared with all,
Until that day,
That day when she sang Mahler,
And never performed again.
Her retirement was unknown
Until that night,
When she walked off the stage
Never to sing for us again.
But her voice is there forever,
As it sails through the ether,
Still stirring my soul
Into absolute joy.
