Description
Bill Furner (The Tiler) graciously sent me his guitar solo and asked if I would like to put lyrics to the song. I was not able to sing it the way he had originally intended and asked him if I could do a tribute song to my little sister (who recently passed away from Cancer). I explained that I would like to do the song as a Christmas present to my mother. He kindly allowed me the freedom to put a "different" expression to the song. I mixed the vocals myself. And some are now becoming aware, my mixing skills leave something to be desired, but I hope the song sounds OK nevertheless. I apologize to the Italian Community for my mis-pronunciation of some of your beautiful words (and the occasional flub of the lyrics).

Lyrics
You have gone away
And left me all alone
My tears flow gently
Your memory in a song
You were my little sister
Now a soul that soars on high
You were taken away
Much before what’s fair
And now you are so far away
To far away to touch
You must sing to me
When I smell the autumn breeze
As I watch the coloured leaves
Fall to the ground
They will renew again in spring
But I know that you will not
You will live on forever
Deep inside my thoughts
I love you – Judy – I miss you
Tu sei andata via
E mi hai lasciata sola
Le mie lacrime volano via
La tua memoria in una canzone
Tu eri la mia piccola sorella
Ora sei un anima che vola alto
Ti anno portata via
Tanto prima che sia giusto
Adesso sei cosi lontana
Troppo lontano per toccarti
Tu devi cantare per me
Quando nel aria c’e l’odore di autunno
Guardanto il colore delle foglie
Che cadono giu
Ma le foglie ritornovo in primavera
ma tu non tornerrai
Tu vivrai per sempre dentro di me
Ti amo – Judy – e mi manchi tanto
And left me all alone
My tears flow gently
Your memory in a song
You were my little sister
Now a soul that soars on high
You were taken away
Much before what’s fair
And now you are so far away
To far away to touch
You must sing to me
When I smell the autumn breeze
As I watch the coloured leaves
Fall to the ground
They will renew again in spring
But I know that you will not
You will live on forever
Deep inside my thoughts
I love you – Judy – I miss you
Tu sei andata via
E mi hai lasciata sola
Le mie lacrime volano via
La tua memoria in una canzone
Tu eri la mia piccola sorella
Ora sei un anima che vola alto
Ti anno portata via
Tanto prima che sia giusto
Adesso sei cosi lontana
Troppo lontano per toccarti
Tu devi cantare per me
Quando nel aria c’e l’odore di autunno
Guardanto il colore delle foglie
Che cadono giu
Ma le foglie ritornovo in primavera
ma tu non tornerrai
Tu vivrai per sempre dentro di me
Ti amo – Judy – e mi manchi tanto

You did well with this, I know how hard it is to translate into a language
you don't know, especially when trying to do prose too... Tiler's guitar
sounds great too, though it is funny... with my head stuck in the 70s, I
keep hearing Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" in that one recurring riff. What a
beautiful elegy... my thoughts go out to you and your family for your loss,
but she is nicely remembered here.
ttfn,
