about

I wrote this song back in 2005 about my grandmother, Mary, for whom I am named. She was a very big influence in my life and the reason I first had interest in Musical Theatre, which I went on to major in at the University of the Arts.

lyrics

Tuesday nights
Sitting by the fireside
Okay, it's just a candle I lit for you

Wondering why
I always end up crying
Wishing I could ask you for your advice
But your spirit's slowly dying

And here by your candle I say a prayer
That you will watch out for me up there
'Cause I am your Namesake and I proudly hold
The name of a woman
Who never grew old

You lived a life
Full of unstoppable drive
The stories you would sing me
Of the places you'd been

Of Niagara Falls
And all of the Inauguration Balls
You gave to me your music so lovingly
You brought out the city girl in me

And here by your candle I say a prayer
That you will watch out for me up there
'Cause I am your Namesake and I proudly hold
The name of a woman
Who never grew old

And I want to thank you for your inspiration
But mostly for a mother who is my salvation

And here by your candle I say a prayer
That you will watch out for me up there
'Cause I am your Namesake and I proudly hold
The name of a woman
Who never grew old
