A song inspired by a series of photographs by Angelo Merendino titled “The Battle We Didn’t Choose – my wife’s fight with breast cancer”. The black and white photographs are difficult and thought provoking, a stark reminder of our mortality but also beautiful and brimming with love.

lyrics

She so loved it all. (Pernille R. Quigg)

Two faces framed two lovers share
An intimate moment frozen in time
Her arm round his neck her breath on his cheek
Oh how images speak

And their love so shines in black and white
Through the darkest day and the brightest night
And she so loved it all
And she so loved it all

Her raven black hair cut shorter now
Clutching her coat in the doctor’s chair
Drowning deep dark eyes look out in fear
For words so hard to hear

A mother stroking her daughter’s face
Gently trying to turn back the time
To when bruises would heal and she could hinder a fall
Oh how she loved it all

At last she was home no more hospital beds
A Christmas stocking hung over her head
A star that once burned bright leaving behind
Her light continues to shine.
