      @Alfred, Thank you. I still like the idea of incorporating your version in some how. Somehow the way you interpreted it seemed fitting.

        I appreciate that, really. I think all that I did to make it different was to make it more of a slow panic kind of feel in a minor key. I know I changed the melody a bit, but at the time all I had to work with was the lyrics. Your version is very you, and a wonderful piece of music.

        Maybe split the difference and do your version in a minor key.

    @Marquita that is a beautiful song. I loved it immediately hearing the guitar but then the lyrics just brought me to tears. The music, the lyrics, your performance; I was really touched. Thank you for sharing.

    @SherryH, @PhilB, @Marisa, @Jack C – Thank you for your kind words and taking time to REALLY listen to the song… not just one element but the deeper meaning.
    This was a work from my biggest fear – losing the love in my life. I think we write deeper thoughts when we’re more emotional.
