“I did, in fact, two songs about my husband, and I love both of them.”

IIHer words, in his song

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

1. A memoryThe night we met on a blind date to go roller skating with friends on November 5,1977. I had never been roller skating before that night.
   In the song 2:30

   It started on a pair of skates, a blind date taking flight

   I'd never even rolled before, but you held me up that night

2. A memoryWe got married on December 27, 1980. When our son Anthony was born in 1981 then our daughter Dana born in 1982. Then when our six grandchildren were born. He gave them nicknames.
   In the song 2:44

   We said "I do" in eighty, then in eighty-one and two

   Anthony and Dana came and made our dreams come true

   Six grandkids getting nicknames from the sweetest, kindest man
