“I truly love it and will cherish it for the rest of my days.”

IIHer words, in his song

What she wrote about Brian, word for word, and the lines it became.

1. A memoryWas waking up beside him and him telling me how much he loves me every morning was the greatest gift of all he was my world
   In the song 0:14

   For forty years of mornings, I woke up by your side

   The greatest gift I ever knew was opening my eyes

   To hear your voice beside me, to hear you say the words

   "I love you" every morning, the sweetest sound I heard

   You were my entire world, my shelter and my peace
