There are times
When I look above
And beyond
There are times when I feel your love
Around me baby
I'll never forget my baby
I'll never forget you
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
When I feel that I don't belong
Draw my strength
From the words when you said
Hey, it's about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me
Good times we'll share again
(Together again, ooh)
Makes me wanna dance
(Together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(Together again, ooh)
All my love's for you
Always been a true angel to me, now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Ooh, wrap them around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Sometimes hear you whisperin'
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now, baby
(Ever see you, baby)
I'm so happy for my baby
(Happy for you, baby)
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me
Good times we'll share again
(Together again, ooh)
It makes me wanna dance
(Together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(Together again)
All my love's for you
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel you smile upon me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
What I'd give just to hold you close as on earth
In heaven we will be together, baby
(Be together)
Together again, my baby
(Together again, my baby)
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

This is how all funerals should be! A celebration of their life, legacy and essence. Remembering their presence by recreating it.

[DRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

my mother would play this blasting through the speakers every saturday morning. I would wake up to this song and the smell of breakfast. we would clean the house together then do family things. my mother passed away almost 2 years ago. I miss her so much and love to be reminded of her love. this song does that for me.

[karmasabhenvy]

This song is so special to me and it holds more than a few different meanings for me... The first is I didn't have a very good relationship with my biological mother and definitely was not a loving relationship with maternal energy and I never honestly got that from her no matter how much I wanted it and no matter how much I wanted my mom to love me, I really don't know if she ever did. I ended up saving her life at age 7 from a premonition I got while I was spending the night at my grandmother's down the street. You see when I was born she was diagnosed with lupus and immediately prescribed lortab and soma. I did not realize this sadly until I was 7:00 after I had saved her life so I had absolutely no reason to have the feeling I had that night as I had never seen her take a pill I did not know anything else. A feeling of there's something wrong with Mom just watched over me and would not leave me alone and I begged my grandmother for about 3 minutes to drive me to her because there's something wrong with her and I was having difficulty breathing along with the panic. So we get there and the door is locked and had to get a key from the landlord next door we get the key and we get in and find my mother new to aside from panties laying on the pull out in the living room motionless. So me and my grandma dragged her to the ground and immediately began CPR while I run to get the portable phone and call 911 they ended up pumping her stomach and giving her epinephrine to bring her back because we were unable to get her breathing again before she entered the ambulance. The doctor said that had I been much longer by a few minutes she could have been brain dead and even if she were able to be brought back she'd be a vegetable mentally. From that night on my life was never the same again our roles in our relationship have permanently reversed and I was now the parent and she the child. Overnight I had become an adult and was expected to have the responsibilities in adult has I was expected to cook clean and do everything and anything that she asked me to. I would wake up early at 5:00 do the quiet chores then go to school come home immediately clean up whatever mess she made that day n start dinner. Then at the end of the day if I had any energy or time I would do homework. I survived on little more than Adderall and juggled it all for years till I collapsed at school when I was 13 and admitted for the first of eight times to an inpatient facility for the treatment of depression anxiety and suicidal thoughts. There was no true mental institution where I live that accepted minors so I was put into a behavioral health hospital with a lot of bad kids who were there mainly because they were either violent or didn't listen to their parents or for some other reason like that. Trouble in school etc, it was something I felt shame over for many years, you tell someone you were placed an institution 8 times before your 16th birthday n now all of a sudden they look at you like you just told them you had murdered someone n start looking at you all crazy. In my personal opinion I think every single person on this planet has the ability to be crazy, to varying degrees. just some are crazier than others. We're are all just a little bit cray cray... But back to the point for this comment, whenever I was 12 I started seeing my dad on the weekends and the first time I spent the weekend I met a beautiful kind compassionate loving person named Tracye. It wasn't long till I asked to call her mom, n she said how bout Mama Tracye? So we hit it off so well. She was caring maternal loving warm sweet and treated me as if I was her biological child. She treated me like I mattered like somebody actually loves me unconditionally for once. I did not have to do anything to get her to love me, I never experienced that before. The only time my bio mom wanted anything to do with me was when she wanted something, n even then it was just till she got what she wanted. Another thing Tracy introduced me to was the concept of boundaries she loved me like I was her own son and made such a strong and positive impact in my life. Even if it was only for 3 years, she made the biggest impact on my life. She loved me and I loved her. She made me feel important, that somebody actually loved me. Because for years up to then I just thought it must be me, maybe I truly am unlovable. I use to think There was a reason why she abandoned me emotionally and that I must've done something to warrant such emotional n physical neglect. But there wasn't I can see n realize now. I watch back home movie's n I was the sweetest little boy. so nice, n polite. All I wanted was her love, n she didn't start giving it to me till after I met Tracye out of jealousy I suspect. Flash forward I'm 14 and something inappropriate happened between me and a family member while Tracye was asleep, *which at the time I felt was consentual however I was 14 n they were in their 40s so I couldn't possibly give consent* and was unaware in the house, n I told a counselor. But nothing happened, he didn't get in trouble because there was not enough evidence. That was the last time I ever saw her was that visit. About 6 months later I turned 15 and I got a call from Mama Tracye on march 19th wishing me happy birthday, n at some point in the call she asks me, is it true? N I said yes Mama its true, then I asked her when can I see you again? She said soon, but that that person was still coming around some and didn't think it was a good idea. So I told her I loved her and missed her and couldn't wait to hug her, she was big on hugs... That was the last time I ever spoke to her. Exactly 1 month later I was inpatient in oyc in Norman ok cuz southwestern behavioral health center was full in Lawton. SWBHC is where I was put 8 times for anxiety depression n suicidal thoughts. The time I was in OYC I had actually attempted suicide n had been hospitalized for it. While I was there I received a voicemail my family listened to informing me that Tracye was dead. She had been found on the floor nude and had been there for 5days. I was told by Tracye's 3 daughters step mother Rhonda. That it was an overdose. but the only drugs that were found in her system were ones that she had been taking for years and had built up a tolerance too there wasn't anything in her system that shouldn't have been there. n because I wasn't adopted by her n not related to her I couldn't go n get any records or any information. so after this conversation I never received any more information regarding her death. She showed me love when she didn't have to, she took an interest in me and always made me feel loved and wanted. if I hadn't had experienced those few years of unconditional love I know my life would have been much much darker than it is today. I am not saying she was a saint she had her issues. When she was a child of about 12 she got either ran over or in a tragic car accident that forced her to have over 30 surgeries to rebuild her legs and for pain they prescribed her Tylenol 3 with codeine and throughout the years she has had her bouts with addiction. As have I unfortunately.*when I was 13 and living with my grandparents I had been having terrible headaches, because my grandpa was a mean drunk when he would drink on the weekends and he would come in and terrorize us n wake everyone up at 2 or 3or 4to bitch at everyone and would do it for hours upon hours n it didn't matter if it were a school night or not, he didn't care. So at this point all three of them are prescribed some form of hydrocodone n soma, n I too was put on lortab 7.5 at age 13 by the same doctor for my migraines. I had already been taking Adderall since 7 n Ambien since 12 by then. After the first pill I was hooked the very next day I would wake up in withdrawal n was game over for me having any chance at not becoming an addict. To this day I am an addict however I can honestly say I have been sober since Dec 2015 by the grace of God, drag, my partner, n methadone. * Once she died I felt like It was my fault because had I just kept quiet and dealt with what happened by myself, then I could have been over there and prevented whatever it is that killed her. I miss er so much, I know she's at least in a better place n not hurting anymore

[marier.]

I lost my twins in 2015 (stillborns), and then I lost their dad in 2021. This song just helps. Can't say it makes it better or easier.. it just helps. Thank you, Janet.

[GunninRebel]

I really love this song so much. Rest In Peace to all the loved ones we’ve all lost. One day we will be together again.

[cecemason]

If you didn't get goosebumps when that beat dropped, were you even apart of this era?

[shaneehawkes]

I lost my cousin on 9/29/20 due to gun violence, we buried her yesterday and today this song came to mind when I thought of her. I feel that she is ok and at peace, this song was definitely heaven sent. ❤❤❤

[mr.d]

I just lost my partner of 34 years to cancer and I will use this song at the end of his services. It was our dance song, we used to always make sure we danced to this song when played in clubs to remember the many friends we lost to AIDS. I love you and will miss you deeply Paul 💔
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again.

[anoelsilliw]

Here again after watching her documentary. I've always loved Janet but had no idea how much she had truly been through in her life but despite all the downs she's took on in her past she was still able to say "I don't regret any of it. It got me where I am today and God is just so good." Hearing this song while the credits rolled and remembering she lost her brother and her father had me in tears. I know they are so, so proud of her. As many of us are!

[pamangkin]

Its only after several years that I realized this was a song about our departed love ones. Made me cry disecting every word. "i can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me" ...best line.

[Olwtak]

Back when Mtv was a channel about music.

[crystalsplace]

I love how she mixed Bollywood, African aesthetic and hip hop in this video.

[Madmax-jzik]

[jasonlawson]

I just lost my mom the day after Christmas and I heard this song and broke down. I miss her terribly but know I will see her again.

[joannjsosa]

This song makes me cry. My cousin and I grew up listening to Janet. This year I lost her to cancer. This song reminds me of her and the lyrics just make me cry. It has a deeper meaning to me now. I miss you Melissa but we'll be together again.

[gamesofthrones_]

I love how she made it a fast tempo song. It's takes the sadness away from the song. Beautiful and brilliant! ♥️
