Song: Half A World Away

You're half a world away
Standing next to me
It seems that every day
I'm loosing you almost invisibly
Though you are near
I can't reach that far
Across to where you are
And so you stay
Just half a world away

And I would cross
The universe for you
What good would it do
If you weren't even there
Till you return
And untill your way is clear
I will be here
Not half a world away

You're half a world away
And no one is to blame
If love outlives its day
And turns into an ember from a flame
I love you as before
Till words will be no more
Till I can't find a way
To where you stay
Just half a world away
You're half a world away

Secret Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian duo playing New Instrumental Music, also understood by some as Neo-classical music.It features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland.

Ten years earlier Rolf Løvland also co-wrote the song "La det swinge" (Let it swing) that secured Norway its first Eurovision Song Contest victory in 1985.

Their success at Eurovision spearheaded the success of their first album Songs from a Secret Garden. Barbra Streisand adapted "Heartstrings" from this album as the song "I've Dreamed Of You" on her A Love Like Ours album. She also used "Heartstrings" in her wedding to James Brolin.

The album White Stones followed in 1997 also making the top ten on Billboard New Age charts. Dawn of a New Century, again with lyrics by Petter Skavlan, in 1999, Dreamcatcher in 2001 and Once In a Red Moon also enjoyed success around the world including reaching top ten on the Billboard.

Their most famous song "You Raise Me Up", performed by Brian Kennedy has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists. This song is very similar in rhythm and harmony to the Irish Folk song "Danny Boy" except for the second half of the phrase.Secret Garden has released a Dreamcatcher.
