For this week's You Capture, I wanted to capture a moment from each day this week that made my soul sing, alongside the lyrics from one of my most very favorite soul and heart lifting songs. I hope your moments were beautiful and full of music this week, too.
What a beautiful face I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me, me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me, me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees, trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
Now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face I have found in this place
That is circling all round' the sun
And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

What a beautiful face I have found in this place

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me, me
What a curious life we have found here tonight

What a beautiful post. That's one of my favorite songs, too! I love the first picture you took so much, great job!
Those boys are growing like weeds! How can Tommy be not a teeny baby anymore? Time flies!!! Have a great day and squeeze and kiss them from me :)
What a beautiful moment!
Beautiful post and of course you're boys are adorable as always! Love that first picture!
Your moments are the very reason photography was invented, lyrics and poems are written and songs are sung. .. I know I've said this before, but I hope you are journaling each of your magnificent posts for your boys and their children and their children. You have the GIFT of the moment...
Lovely! That first picture especially is just so sweet and gorgeous. Love those moments. :)
I cannot get over how much Luke looks like you.
what a good idea! to capture a moment a day... and you captured yours beautifully!
Love the first photo especially! Beautiful post all around.
Oh these are so beautiful. Your pictures always make me kinda wish for a little boy, but I wouldn't be picky:-)
that blue sky is awesome! As is the look that Tommy is giving you in the next to last shot! It's so good to see pics of Luke smiling, he normally seems soo intense!
Wait a sec- what happened to Tommy? He's like a boy. He looks all broody and stuff. They are both so gorgeous.

I love the big gorgeous eyes in the first picture!
Way to make me cry. Such a beautiful post. I wholeheartedly agree with Sharon. Save it all for the boys some day.
Music and photographs. I actually wanted to hear the song while I was looking at those sweet photos.
That first one - I love it.
I love them all but the first one? It got me right in the heart.

Beautiful photos to go with the words. I love that first shot. I'd have to say it is my favorite.
Breaking my heart.
xo.
Ha! I love the black and white one. He looks confused by the camera. Too cute.
So beautiful-the pictures, the words, your boys. I just adore the first shot. What love.
Aww, and wow, and yes.
Well done, friend.
You are so right...seems as if at times we just let those moments pass! Only when we look back we notice how precious they are.
My favorite is the first one, definitely captures the moment, but all the other pix are beautiful too. Happy weekend!!
love the first one! what a sweet picture!
totally beautiful. each and every moment.
That post brought tears to my eyes! Beautiful pictures!! The whole thing just beautiful!
Beautiful! :)
Beautiful. I especially love the black and white close-up of the little one.
Beautiful. So sweet!
Okay, as soon as all my chills settle down, I'll try to comment. That was SO beautiful, so touching. And the expressions on the faces that go with the verses are so priceless. Erin, you ought to teach English...oh wait. Well it fits, because you are gifted.
I love your children's dark eyes. They look so serious! But, I love the sweet moments you captured. I will have to go look up the song, the lyrics sound pretty all on their own.
Beautiful moments and words. OH and boys too! ;)
