River: Valentine's Day

[mdlbear]

Twenty-two years ago yesterday I wrote a song for Colleen. I sang it this morning, and got to the end without falling apart too badly to keep singing. Close, though. I've posted about it before, so go there or the song page for lyrics. I finally did get some audio up; see the song page for that, too.

So here's Eyes Like the Morning again. You'll probably be seeing it a few more times this year. Not sorry about that.

It's not something to be sorry for. It's beautiful. <3

Thanks!

That is one hell of a song. So beautiful. So painful.

Thanks! It wasn't painful when I wrote it, but I keep singing it and don't care if it hurts. I sang it to her in her hospital room the night before her surgery, and again the night after.

Several of my best songs hurt -- that's one way I can tell they're good.
