I love most of Enya's songs for her beautifully ethereal voice and the incredible lyrics by Nicky and Roma Ryan, and this song was no exception. But "On My Way Home" especially touched me when it took on a whole new meaning -- after a friend told me she was in remission from cancer. That was about 6 years ago. Unfortunately, I don't know where she is now.
I have been given
One moment from heaven
As I am walking
Surrounded by night
Stars high above me
Make a wish under moonlight
On my way home
I'll remember only good days
On my way home
I'll remember only best days
I'm on my way home
I can remember every new day
I walk in silence
With each step taken
Snow falling 'round me
Like angels in flight
Far in the distance
Is my wish under moonlight
On my way home
I'll remember only good days
On my way home
I'll remember only best days
I'm on my way home
I can remember every new day
