Touched By An Angel

And when she (the angel) walked in the room
After so many years,
He (Mr. Nicks) looked up and saw her
He was standing at the crossroads
She was moving in slow motion
Everything was the same,
Except that everything was different

In that very moment, everyone was silent
And everyone was friendly,
For the first time in years,
Everyone was smiling
Though their pain was apparent
and the floor was wet and slippery
With the tracks of their tears

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better,
I have come to take you away."

No one slipped and fell
This time, everyone was steady
Someone held my arm so that
I would not fall
For the first time, in a long time
Everyone was ready
No one said a word
And that simply said it all

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better,
I have come...to take you away."
I’ll make you better

Walking through the room together
In suspended animation...
No one saw us go... no one said goodbye
But in my heart, I leave
Great expectations
That you will find the answers
to your questions
And that life will once more...
be a celebration...
and that you will be touched by an Angel
and that you will be touched by an Angel
and that you will be touched by an Angel

Celebration
Someday
Someday, Someday
Celebration
~Stevie Nicks

We love you Stevie.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of your grandmother, SilverGypsyGirl.
It seems a lot of loss has hit our Ledgies recently.

I feel such sadness from the very bottom of my heart for Stevie and her family. My stomach sank and I dreaded even opening this post.

This is my favorite poem and I find it appropriate for here:

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
~Robert Frost

Great Dads are hard to find, and obviously Jess was a great one to Stevie...

This is so true and Stevie was very lucky to have a father who loved her so much. I pray this doesn't completely crush her and that she's able to take some comfort in the fact that she had her father's love for so many years.

BellaSoprano, please accept my condolences on the passing of your father, too. I'm so sorry. And I'm also sorry for the loss of your grandma, Silver Gypsy Girl.

I know - I cannot imagine it and spend as much time as I can with them now as my mom is 79 and I know the day will come and she has been somewhat sick for the last five years, though she pulled through it all. So, I feel for you all who lost your's

Would like to make sure everyone has seen this -

this is "Amber" - not sure when Stevie wrote it -

one of her unreleased song. ( Amber, I believe, was

his nickname for her. )

It's about Stevie's Dad and how they felt about each other,

and her reassurance to him that no matter what,

she would always be his daughter,

Stephanie Lynn Nicks.

"When I was young, I can remember the day
When far off in the distance, I heard someone say
'You've a daughter, born a Gemini, name of Amber
born today'
Always ... be Amber
Remember...look inside
Be forever, tiny lady -
I remember...

Beautiful daughter, when you were mine
Gemini Amber, your color was brown -
The sign that I gave you in May.
It's Gemini, Amber, your arms open wide
Who'll protect you from the things that you say?
Always ...be Amber
Remember to be kind.
Be forever, beautiful daughter -
I remember...

brown eyes in Amber -
When you were mine."

She's right - It's once in a million years.

Wow I have heard Amber but never realised it was this deep.

I hope the Nicks family pulls through, by the sounds of Jess has quite a legacy all by himself even without Stevie in Phoenix, but without trying to sound selfish...I hope it doesn't bring Stevie down too much

I hope they are all and it is truly sad when anyone dies...especially I send my love to any Ledgies who have lost someone close lately.

I never liked that song, but in this context, it is very beautiful. Thanks for posting, thanks for bringing my attention once again.... Very apropos....

I think we should read through this one, too....in remembrance of all the love ones that passed on these past few months:


I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down


Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life


Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you get bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too


Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down


If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down.

After the last thread, I am sure everyones condolences from the Ledge will be her top priority to read.

You know... every post until yours was from people expressing their genuine sympathies and prayers for Stevie and her family.

I'm quite sure that none of the fans condolences will be her top priority read right now whether it is on here or the hundreds that I'm sure are going to be emailed to the Nicksfix. But it's a shame to hijack this thread with such a post when people are expressing their sympathies to Stevie. JMO

I was hanging around the San Diego sports arena before the RAL show there with a few friends when we recognized Jess Nicks .He greeted us all very warmly ..a really nice man.I know how much he meant to Stevie and wish her peace in this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies go out to Stevie and her family and also to the Ledgies who have lost loved ones recently.
