IIHis words, in her song
What he wrote about Carol Jean, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
A memory
Being together day after day, month after month
In the song 0:14Day after day, month after month
-
A memory
Her not being able to sing, her laugh, her love of chocolate
In the song 0:28Sharing some chocolate, hearing you laugh
You couldn't carry a tune, but you were music to me
-
What he misses
cooking together, loving the day away
In the song 0:50Just cooking together and loving the day away
-
Her legacy
Other peoples welfare came first… dressed impeccably
In the song 0:57Oh, Carol Jean, dressed impeccably
You put everyone first, with a spirit so pure
-
His message to her
Wish I loved you longer, sang to you more, held you more
In the song 1:09I just wish I could have loved you a little bit longer
Wish I held you tighter, wish I sang to you more
-
What he misses
dining out, casino fun, RV traveling, cruise ship trips together
In the song 1:27We’d hit the highway in the RV, chasing the sun
Or dress for the casino, just looking for fun
Sailing on cruise ships across the blue sea
Dining out late, just a table for two
-
What he misses
Missed the quiet times sitting outside, the champagne movies
In the song 2:17I miss the quiet times, just sitting outside
With a champagne movie and you by my side
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIICarol Jean’s story
Carol Jean was fun loving, romantic and pretty, sensitive and intimate. She loved to cuddle.
Other people’s welfare came first for her. She treated people respectfully, worked with integrity, loved her family and her husband, and always dressed impeccably.
“Wish I loved you longer, sang to you more, held you more.”
What he wrote to her
They were together day after day, month after month, and they cooked together. She couldn’t sing, and he remembers her laugh and her love of chocolate.
He misses the quiet times sitting outside, the champagne movies, dining out and casino fun. He misses RV traveling, cruise ship trips together, cooking together, “loving the day away.”
He asked for a tender song for her. Afterward, he wrote that it “honored her character perfectly.”
