Stevie Nicks ~ City of Hope

Sad but beautiful song written by Stevie for her friend Robin~Stevie's child like Angel~who passed away from cancer. The City of Hope Cancer Treatment Center is a place Robin received treatment. The song cuts off abruptly~which is sadly ironic. I hope you like this little tribute video. Lyrics~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a legend passed down through the ages
Down through the crystal visions
Down through the crystal, clear-water fountain
The charmed ones remain
They are mine
You remain

Years don't really matter, it's just a matter of time
Ooh, it's just a quality of a few precious hours
And the charmed ones, no matter how bad it is
Well, I've already lost one guiding light

Sometimes when I wake up
(In her heart, she goes back)
Well, I don't think about it
(Where's this city of hope?)
Not a night goes by
That I don't wonder where you are

Well, I've already lost one guiding light
Yes, I've already lost one guiding light
Nothing will ever hurt me like this again
And you know in that very statement
You give it up, just a little bit
Your child-like angel

Sometimes when I wake up
(In her heart, she goes back)
Well, I don't think about it
(Where's this city of hope?)
Not a night goes by
That I don't...

What a beautiful song, so emotional, it seems like all of the "good" ones die young - my friend is in the hospital in a coma now & she is only 48 & she is such a "good" person and I can't understand why God always takes the best from us at an early age - maybe because He wants them in heaven fast so that they can have no more suffering here on earth

@98michellesanders ~ Im so sorry about your friend.

What was that thing Robin put a few drops into before Stevie put her face in it??

[Wench098]

@98michellesanders ~ thats is some kind of vapor machine that helps with a persons voice. A therapy of some sort. Not too informed on this~sorry. Robin was her voice coach as well as her best friend.

I wish that people would not refer to people as angels, because if they really new what the angels work is, what types of angels there are, and the powers they have then they would not refer to humans as angels, i know that she sings well and her lyrics touch the heart but she is not an angel.

@Brighteyes1ful ~ I was actually quoteing Stevie. She refers to Robin as her "child like angel" in the lyrics of this song. Thanks for commenting :)

Dear Stevie,

If you read this ever, this is one track that should be rerecorded as a full length song and added to an album?
