My tribute to those who were lost in the 911 attacks, and to those they left behind. We lived in NY on that awful day. A friend lost his son in the twin towers, and a close friend was with the NYFD and in charge of recovering the remains.
I wrote a couple of songs in honor of that day. This one is about a widow of one of the heroes of flight 93.
We will never forget.
SEPTEMBER SKY
There was a bright September sky that day
They hugged so tight before he flew away
How could she have known
On that beautiful morn
They’d say their last goodbye
She thanks the Lord
That she was there
When his call came in
From the air
There was trouble on the plane,
Life would never be the same
How could she have known that day
They’d say their last goodbye
He left behind
Precious memories of
Of the joy he gave
His family
The photos of his radiant smile
Remind her of his love
And as the tears fall heavily,
Her heart is crushed
And yet it’s free
Knowing that they held
Each other tight that day
When they said their last goodbye
So hold your dear ones close each day
Don’t let love moments slip away,
You never know
When will come the day
You‘ll say your last goodbye
