My mom just passed away so I'm trying to find a few peaceful, sweet songs to play at her service?

Question

Trying to find some of those "remembrance songs,old or new ones that we can burn from my PC to a CD. to use at her service. We, my sisters and I would like to add a few to the couple we just now burned It will mean so very much if we can find just the right songs for her. So if you have any thoughts on the titles of a song or two that has ALOT of meaning,i hope you will forward them to me! She was 85 and a genuine Norwegian woman!!!
NEED ASAP p-l-e-a-s-e-!
Please help me if you can! Time is of the essence! Thanks so very much in advance!
Ps..I was told to use ITUNES to burn CDs, but they charge you for just one song to burn each time!(Any way around having to do that???hmmmm? lol) I know there's some others were you don't have to pay to burn your own CDs.....Have any ideas and sites to go to?
Thanks so very much in advance! I Could REALLY use all the help I can get....not very computer literate, if you know what I mean! :)

Answer 1

Can I suggest Beim Schlafengehen by Richard Strauss it translates as Going to Sleep and the words in English



Now that I am wearied of the day,

I will let the friendly, starry night

greet all my ardent desires

like a sleepy child.

Hands, stop all your work.

Brow, forget all your thinking.

All my senses now

yearn to sink into slumber.

And my unfettered soul

wishes to soar up freely

into night's magic sphere

to live there deeply and thousandfold.



below is a link to my favourtie singer of this but you will also find may other versions,it is so utterly beautiful a perfect song for your mother

Answer 2

First, I'm so sorry about your loss.



Since your mother was 85 years old, I'm going to think of songs by older artists (as opposed to young ones such as Beynce). You can find them on Limewire. Here are a few songs that were played at a recent funeral for a 55-year-old man (a friend of a friend):



Amazing Grace - Judy Collins

Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Boccelli

Wind Beneath My Wings -- Bette Midler

Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce

Riding Through the Storm - Donna Summer (a song about Jesus)

Answer 3

Sincere Sympathy in loosing your Mother. This is beautiful and the video is great. The song is sung by Alan Jackson. Use this one.

Answer 4

I am SO sorry for your loss. I just lost my mom 6 months ago. It's really hard. one song my dad had the vocalist & her son sing was called "If you could see me now". The lyrics are below, and if you click on the link, you can hear the song sung:

Our Prayers have all been answered

I finally arrived

The healing that had been delayed

Has now been realized

No one's in a hurry

There's no schedule to keep

We're all enjoying Jesus

Just sitting at His feet



If you could see me now

I'm walking streets of gold

If you could see me now

I'm standing tall and whole

If you could see me now

You'd know I've seen His face

If you could see me now

You'd know the pain's erased



You wouldn't want me to ever

leave this place

If you could only see me now



My light and temporary trials

Have worked out for my good

To know it brought Him glory

When I misunderstood

Though we've had our sorrows

They can never compare

What Jesus has in store for us

No language can share



If you could see me now

I'm walking streets of gold

If you could see me now

I'm standing tall and whole

If you could see me now

You'd know I've seen His face

If you could see me now

You'd know the pain's erased



If you could see me now

I'm walking streets of gold

If you could see me now

I'm standing tall and whole

If you could see me now

You'd know I've seen His face

If you could see me now

You'd know the pain's erased



You wouldn't want me to ever

leave this perfect place

If you could only see me now



If you could see me now

If only you could see me now





It makes me cry every time i hear it. Here's another link...I think this is a free download, but i'm not 100% sure.
