This is a song that I just wrote for my wife, we've been together for 36 now, and I have to take her to Louisville this coming Tuesday for Surgery, the doctors are pretty certain she has Endometrial Cancer.

When I Met You

In that little church, when our eyes first met,
a moment in time, I'll never forget.
Your smile, oh how it, lit up the night,
and in that instant, I knew it was so right.
Chorus:
When I met you , my heart skipped a beat,
I knew right then, you were my destiny.
You are the one, our love's so true,
Girl I'll never forget, that very Sunday,
When I met you.

We talked for hours, lost in conversation,
sharing dreams and fears, a thoughtful revelation.
Oh, the way you talked to me, girl it was so sweet,
I knew in that moment, my life was complete.

When I met you , my heart skipped a beat,
I knew right then, you were my destiny.
You are the one, our love's so true,
Girl I'll never forget, that very Sunday,
When I met you.

When I met you , my heart skipped a beat,
I knew right then, you were my destiny.
You are the one, our love's so true,
Girl I'll never forget, that very Sunday,
When I met you.

Hi, Ronnie.

Sorry to hear about your wife's cancer. Hopefully it falls into that "highly treatable" category. Prayers for both of you.

Pleasant listen, and heartfelt.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I was going to say the same thing as David!

I am saying prayers for you and your wife.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Very pretty song Ronnie. Hang in there and I'll pray for you both. Sometimes your on the mountain, sometimes in the valley - regardless, keep you hope in the great physician.

So good, Ronnie. Thoughts and prayers for you two, and I can hear how special she is to you. 36 years? You must be pretty special too. I have chills from the passion in your voice, and you surround it with the perfect band. Such a good heartfelt write.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Nice tribute to your wife Ronnie. Reminds me of a song I wrote for my wife years ago.
Damn cancer. I hope she kicks it further on down the road.
