    In the song 0:09

    November fifth, nineteen seventy-seven

    A blind date with some friends that turned into a little heaven

    Lacing up those roller skates, I didn't have a clue

  2. A memoryIf it wasn’t for him I would fell a lot more than I did.

    I would have hit that hardwood floor time and time again

    But you kept me from falling, my soulmate and my friend

    My best friend and my husband, I wish that you were here

    From the rumble of your Harley to the way you looked at me

    Or the motor of your motorcycle just outside the wall

  5. What she missesHis jokes,laugh, hugs, kisses and his voice… He was my one true love.
    In the song 0:37

    Mearle, you were my one true love, my favorite place to be

    I miss your jokes, your tender hugs, the comfort of your voice

    Sometimes I think I hear your laugh echo down the hall

    I miss your kisses every day, the warmth of your embrace

  6. What he taught themHe taught our son Anthony to make decisions on his own and how to fix cars.
    In the song 1:28

    You taught Anthony to make a choice and how to fix a car

    To trust his own decisions whether he was near or far

  7. What he taught themHe taught our daughter he would be there to fix her car when it broke down or if she needed to move. And that they always could come home to live if they needed to.
    In the song 1:36

    Our daughter Dana knew you'd be right there to help her pack and move

    Or get her engine running smooth, that's how you showed your love

    You made sure that they always knew, no matter where they roam

    If the world got heavy, they could always just come home

IIIMearle’s story

Mearle and his wife met on a blind date on November 5, 1977, going roller skating with a group of friends. She had never been roller skating before that night.

If it weren’t for him, she writes, she would have fallen a lot more than she did.

“He was my soulmate and best friend.”

What she wanted him to know

She remembers his love for his family, his sense of humor and his love for his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

He taught their son Anthony to make decisions on his own and how to fix cars. He taught their daughter he would be there to fix her car when it broke down or if she needed to move, and that “they always could come home to live if they needed to.”

She misses his jokes, his laugh, his hugs, his kisses and his voice, “and most of all his love. He was my one true love.”

“It means a lot to hear our love in a song.”

Mearle’s wife, in her review

She asked for a tender, peaceful country song to tell him that she will always love him, and that she misses him very much.

When she listened, “it made me think of my husband every time.”
