I wrote this song as a gift for Rebecca and Alex when they got married. We knew they were going to get married before Rebecca left on her mission. I had wanted to write a nice song for them that they could sing together, so I was glad that I would have a year and a half to do it. I wrote the chorus first, but the verses didn’t come until much later. In fact, I was writing possibilities for lyrics and melodies while traveling on the airplane to pick up Rebecca in the Philippines at the end of her mission. I decided to type them into a notepad on my iphone and email it to myself so I would for sure have it. But somehow, after I got it all typed up, I deleted it, and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back, so I had to try and remember it and wrote the lyrics in a notebook and wrote the song out on manuscript paper. But I accidentally left the notebook and manuscript paper on the seat in the airplane when we arrived at our destination. Disappointed, I tried to remember the melody and lyrics that I had written down, but just could not make it come together. About the time I was ready to give up, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to write the song after all, inspiration came through and I was able to write the song as it is now. The melody and many of the words are different, but I think it ended up being a better song than the original would have been. I guess it was actually a blessing to lose the original composition. It was very special to hear Rebecca and Alex sing it together – just as I had envisioned—at their wedding breakfast.
