IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Buddy, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
A memory
After we watched Ghost he started every morning when I woke up he would lightly rub his hand down my face
In the song 0:15Every morning since the day we watched that movie Ghost
You’d trace a gentle hand down my face, the touch I miss the most
-
A memory
He held my hand and sang songs to me… I Want Us to Be Together in Heaven… I Hope We Walk the Last Mile Together
In the song 0:44You held my hand and sang sweet bluegrass songs to me
"I Want Us to Be Together in Heaven," my sweet Buddy
You always hoped we'd walk the last mile side by side
-
A memory
He would make little jokes to help lighten the mood when things would happen and everyone would be stressed.
In the song 2:28When life got heavy, you would always make a little joke
To ease the stress for everyone with every word you spoke
-
A memory
He worried about what would happen to me after he was gone. He didn't want anyone to be mean to me
In the song 2:43You worried who would take good care of me when you were gone
You didn't want a single soul to ever do me wrong
-
What she misses
sitting on the patio at night drinking coffee… We could just look at each other and not have to say anything.
In the song 2:13We shared our quiet evenings drinking coffee in the dark
We didn't need to say a word, you always had my heart
-
Her message to him
When you left you took the biggest part of me. I'm lost and no longer the same person. I do all the things I need to do but my heart is so broken
In the song 1:13You took the biggest part of me when you went home
I do the things I have to do, but I'm so lost and alone
But my heart is broken, Buddy, and I miss you more and more
I'm no longer the same person, but I wanted you to know
-
What he taught them
be dependable, show respect, live life, have fun and enjoy making good memories
In the song 4:26You taught me to be dependable, to show respect and live
To have some fun, make memories, and always learn to give
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIIBuddy’s story
Buddy had a big loving heart. He liked to joke and make others laugh, and his laughter was so joyful.
He loved helping others, and he liked bluegrass music. When he was happy, or picking at the people he loved, his eyes had a sparkle.
“He always told me he could never live without me.”
What she wrote about him
After they watched Ghost, he started every morning the same way. He would lightly rub his hand down her face and tell her how much he loved her.
He held her hand and sang to her, songs like “I Want Us to Be Together in Heaven” and “I Hope We Walk the Last Mile Together.” He worried about what would happen to her after he was gone.
After 42 years of marriage, she misses the love she could see in his eyes, their walks, and coffee on the patio at night. “We could just look at each other and not have to say anything.”
“When you left you took the biggest part of me.”
What she wrote to him
He taught them to be dependable, show respect, live life, have fun and enjoy making good memories. If he could see them crying, she wrote, he would say “that’s enough crying… my love is with you.”
She asked for a tender, peaceful gospel song for Buddy. In her words, it “described him the way it was.”

Thinking about a song for someone you love?
- I’m not a writer.
- You don’t need to be. You answer questions about them in your own words, like Buddy’s wife did, and the song is written from what you tell us.
- What if it isn’t right?
- Tell us what to change. Every song includes a free revision within 14 days of getting it, and if you still aren’t happy, you get a full refund within 30 days.
- How long does it take?
- Buddy’s song arrived three days after his wife ordered it.
