“My name is Mari Isdale. I’m 39 years old and unfortunately living with stage 4 bowel cancer
For which I am receiving palliative chemotherapy.
Since my diagnosis I would wake up in the middle of the night in a panic, mind racing with
questions such as; do my loved ones know what I think of them?, how grateful am I to
them?, do they really know how much I love them?, what if I haven’t said it enough? It was
during one of these ‘2am moments’ that I desperately searched the internet about how to
leave legacies to loved ones in such circumstances and thankfully my search returned the
wonderful Swan Song Project…”

Lyrics
Thank you for all the happiness and joy throughout the years,
Every time you made me smile and wiped away my tears,
You’ve given me every opportunity, every single chance,
You’ve brought me to this party and you’ve showed me how to dance,
So, thank you for each and every magical day,
And for your unconditional love each step along the way.
Chorus
I love you to the stars and back and much much more,
til the oceans all run dry and the waves don’t hit the shore,
til the planet stops turning and the earth is standing still,
I love you to the stars and back, I do, and always will
When times got tough you always kept on giving,
You made my life, a life still worthy of living,
You got me through the toughest times just by being there,
You’re the oxygen that gives me life when there isn’t any air,
So, thanks for all you are, and everything that you do,
I’m still loving this party, cause I’m dancing along with you,
Chorus
Thanks for being my sunrise that ends the darkest night,
The lighthouse that leads my ship with your guiding light,
In this devastating war zone, you made the fighting cease,
You’re my calm, my tranquillity, and all my inner peace,
I couldn’t have come through everything on my own,
Your love gives me the courage and a strength I’ve never known,
This party’s been the best so far, it’s really been a blast,
But all the greatest party’s end, they’re just not meant to last,
If I have to leave it early, what would make me more than sad,
Is if you turn the music off while there’s more partys to be had,
There’s no place like home, what the wizard said was true,
You’re my home, my sanctuary, there’s no-one quite like you,
Don’t forget, I’ll always be there, safe in your heart,
Our love and lives will stay entwinned, no matter what we’ll never be apart.
Chorus
I love you to the stars and back , I am you, you are me,
love you to the stars and back for all eternity,
I love you to the stars and back, I need for you to know,
to the stars and back, even if I’m somewhere over the rainbow
