IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Mearle, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
A memory
The night we met on a blind date November 5 , 1977 to go with a group of friends roller skating
In the song 0:09November 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
-
A memory
If it wasn’t for him I would fell a lot more than I did.
In the song 0:26I would have hit that hardwood floor time and time again
But you kept me from falling, my soulmate and my friend
-
Her message to him
He was my soulmate and best friend.
In the song 0:31But you kept me from falling, my soulmate and my friend
My best friend and my husband, I wish that you were here
-
Who he was
His love for his Harley- Davidson motorcycle.
In the song 0:46From the rumble of your Harley to the way you looked at me
Or the motor of your motorcycle just outside the wall
-
What she misses
His jokes,laugh, hugs, kisses and his voice… He was my one true love.
In the song 0:37Mearle, 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
-
What he taught them
He taught our son Anthony to make decisions on his own and how to fix cars.
In the song 1:28You taught Anthony to make a choice and how to fix a car
To trust his own decisions whether he was near or far
-
What he taught them
He 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 1:36Our 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
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
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.”
