Liner Notes

My husband McQ transitioned to heaven in the end of January 2024. I wrote him a love song every FAWM because as well as Valentines Day on the 14th it was also our Wedding Anniversary on the 12th. I used my tenor uke with low G. #FUC #ukulele #lovesong

Lyrics

I sometimes feel your hand in mine
If I meditate and focus my will
I hope your spirit will be by my side
Help me find dreams to fulfill

I’ll sing out my gratitude for our love
Sing it out to heaven above
We both were blessed by love you see
Forever now in memory

If you have spare time in heaven
Come visit my dreams tonight
Or send a cardinal to sing to me
And my heart will feel alright

Chorus

I know I need to keep living
Not cling to things that are past
Yet grief is on its own timeline
This love song won’t be my last

Chorus

Heartfelt indeed and loving, and an acceptance without totally giving up, am I saying this right? Probably not. Love the "send a cardinal to sing to me" (The first I ever saw outside a zoo was 2 years ago in hawaii) The simple uke backing is jsut right for this. Again, your harmonies give the chorus a joyous feel--not happy, joy isn't unalloyed brightness. I think I'd better stop here. Darci, it's a loving and lovely song. Well done!

"grief is on its own timeline " It is indeed. I don't look too far ahead because I know what is coming, and looking too far ahead is...grief...

The spare ukulele arrangement perfectly complements the heartfelt sentiments. My wife died 6 years ago and for over a year I wrote a note to her in a diary every night, so I understand that grief has its own timeline. Thank you for sharing that.
