As many of you know, spirit often communicates with us through music. My mother has several songs that I know are her saying hello. But there’s one song in particular when I am down and struggling. That song is Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper.
I was going through photos on my phone this morning and all of a sudden a slideshow came on. That slideshow was set to Time After Time. I had just had a severe asthma exacerbation. I finally got through it, but it’s scary. She is telling me she’s right there holding me up.
She always used to tell me to go slow. But my life did not afford me that. There wasn’t enough time in the day to tend to two terminally ill parents and then work a full-time job as an accountant in an international company. I was running on pure adrenaline for years.
I always refer to the veil as a window. We raise our vibrations to the veil line, and spirit lower theirs. And that’s where we can communicate and see. Watching through windows in the lyrics is a reference to that.
The entire refrain references how spirit watches over us in their own ways, even if we don’t realize that they’re there to catch us when we fall.
So the next time you hear this song, think of your loved ones who have passed on. 💗😇💗
Lying in my bed
I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sometimes, you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, "Go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting (I will be waiting)
Time after time
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)
And the drum beats out of time
If you're lost, you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
I got a suitcase of memories
I almost left behind
Time after time
Time, time, time
You said (you said)
"Go slow"
But I fall behind (I fall behind)
Time and time and time
Time after time
