Vicky from Darwin died after taking an overdose following two years of desperately searching for a job. The 21-year-old, with 10 GCSEs and three A-levels, died a day after she had received another rejection letter following a recent job interview.
Her father has written this song in Vicki’s memory and he sent it to me with the hope that others will find comfort with his words and music. The song’s video includes videos and photos of Vicky.
He has given permission to freely distribute in the hope that this music will in some small way help others.
To see your smile once more
And hear your voice again
If only I could have those things
It would help to ease my pain
My pillow holds an ocean of tears
Thinking it’s a dream
My heart is in a million pieces
I just want to shout and scream
You are the sun that shines so bright
You are the twinkle of a star in the sky
You are the flowers that grow wild and free
You are an angel who glides on the breeze
If pictures paint a thousand words
You have broken the rule
By taking one look at you
We can all see you’re the jewel
I’m lost and don’t know what to do
Each day I cry and cry
Your beautiful face and smile to see
Would help to get me by
You are the sun that shines so bright
You are the twinkle of a star in the sky
You are the flowers that grow wild and free
You are an angel who glides on the breeze
Angel on the breeze
Angel on the breeze
Angel on the breeze
Angel on the breeze
Angel on the breeze
Angel on the breeze
