Our song

Part of Mama Kat's writing workshop


I've never been all that romantic.  My husband is. Sometimes it drives me a little crazy because I have never understood why people would spend money on flowers when they eventually die.  Yet each time I would receive flowers (only from him) it made me feel special.  So I get it.  It's still just hard for me. 

I dream of being more romantic.

When it came to having a song I always wanted one but never thought there would be one.   Then somehow it happened.

On our third date we went to a Tim McGraw concert.   In an effort to win me over my now husband knew I liked country music and surprised me with these tickets.  We loved the concert and ended up getting his CD.   It was the beginning of listening to Tim McGraw, laying by the fireplace and gazing at each other, then kissing, gazing, and kissing some more. 

In the process we found our song, one that we fell in love with, became our first dance and one we will always dance to when we hear it.  

(Lyrics to my favorite part of the song)

And all I want to do is let it be
And be with you and watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me
Go on forever like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there's only you and I
And all I wanna do is watch the wind blow by
