(I hope you don't mind me posting a link directly to the song.)

As a man who deeply loves his wife, this touched my heart. The guitar solo was spot on and effective as well. Very, very nice listen.

Thanks Deryk!! Glad you liked it. I'm still using version 2016. I've been out with back surgery for about 2 years and can't sing like I used to. I would like to upgrade to 2018 but can't right now. I've just now started using BIAB and Realband again since my surgery. occ

occ,

I enjoyed listening. I'm a huge fan of 12/8. The time signature has a really nice and restful lilt that carries the music along like gently rolling waves. I congratulate you on a wonderful song -- it resonates with sincerity and is very uplifting to listen to. I enjoyed it.

All the best,
Noel

OCC, what a wonderful tribute to your wife. This is a beautiful touching song. I feel the same way about my wonderful wife of 51 years. This song struck home for me.

I absolutely love this song.
