Story behind the song
My sister Shirley died in August
Lyrics
She Came To Life © 2009 Murray Webster
Verse 1
Looking like an angel, dead to the world
My sister lay there sleeping, sweet as a little girl
I whispered that I loved her, I held her hand in mine
Lying on her final bed, she didn't want to mend
Sedated and confused, hoping for the end
Then they said "Your Brother's here at last" and she sat up straight with a start
Chorus
And She Came To Life in my arms
She smiled and all the laughter rang out clear
And now she'll never come to harm
And all the joy we used to know was here
And her eyes were once again alive
She Came To Life
Verse 2
Her heart was full of kindness, in a dress & matching shoes
A refined and lovely lady, she thought she was born to lose
Once said her life was a waste of time
But she loved us with all of her heart
She said that we are born alone, and alone is how we die
I kissed her on the forehead, and gently said goodbye
That moment will stay with me until the end of my days
Chorus
When She Came To Life in my arms...
Verse 3
Pink teenage ballet shoes, on a bed of lilac flowers
Dancing on her coffin, as she took her final bow
She can't be woken any more,her spirit's free to soar
Chorus
But She Came To Life in my arms...
Coda
She Came To Life
