A story-song inspired by all the Harry Chapin albums I've ever heard. Definitely a song of how a plan will fall apart the moment you put it in action.

This song was written for my wife on the occasion of our fifth anniversary. I sang it in a restaurant for her - to her great embarrassment.
Lynn died this afternoon (17 September 2014) at 3:25 p.m.
I will always love you, sweetie. Thank you…

This is absolutely beautiful. Man I hope to write this well one day. There is no doubt how much you love her.
Chased my second wife across a continent to gain her love. She ran until she let me catch her. Now she is gone forever to that empty abyss. Her death in 2014 was a heavy blow… My third wife was a friend from high school and we were reunited after 40 years through Facebook. Husband, father & grandfather. Disabled Veteran, U.S. Coast Guard.
