Back in 1997, my wife grew tired of my bashing her country music tastes and challenged me to pen a country song myself, if I thought it was so easy.\u00a0 I apologize for the results.\u00a0 I still hear it as a duet with Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

I turned on my computer just like I do every day –
\nKick-start to the power and the video display.
\nI’m waiting for an e-mail from my baby in LA,
\nHoping that her little message finds its way.<\/p>\n

I logged in and checked my mail –
\nThis waiting had my heart in jail;
\nI sure hoped we’d be together soon.
\nMy server said I had new stuff –
\nI couldn\u2019t download fast enough –
\nBut what I read there made me sadder than a loon:<\/p>\n

She wrote:
\n<\/strong><\/em>Do you really need me underneath the Texas moon?
\nDo you really need me later?\u00a0 Do you really need me soon?
\nMister, I must tell you, before to Texas I do roam,
\nI need to know where your love’s coming from.<\/p>\n

My heart skipped a mighty beat
\nI was glued right to my seat
\nand I felt there, as I read that, I could cry.
\nMy fingers flew right to the keys
\nto put her nervous heart at ease
\nand I typed out, through my tears, this swift reply:<\/p>\n

I wrote:
\n<\/strong><\/em>I don’t wish for you on every star – just the ones up in the sky
\nI don’t need you every day – just the ones that end in ‘Y’
\nMy heart burns for you like stars in Heaven up above
\nAnd I’m sending you this e-mail from:\u00a0 Forever@always.love!<\/u><\/p>\n

Forever@always.love<\/u>!
\nYou’re the one girl that I’m dreaming of!
\nNo virtual girlfriends,
\nNo diamonds and pearl friends,
\nDo for me what you do, my Love.<\/p>\n

Well that\u2019s pretty much just how it went,
\nand I felt much better when it was sent,
\nand sure to check reply return receipt.
\nSo I knew she\u2019d read it right away,
\nand I wondered what her reply would say,
\nand more, what she would say, when next we\u2019d meet.<\/p>\n

She wrote:<\/em><\/strong>
\nOur hearts are both like stars above, they burn with equal heat,
\nAnd since you really need me, I\u2019ll be moving from my street,
\nI\u2019ll pack up my computer, and off from LA I will shove,
\nI\u2019ll see you very soon, my dear:\u00a0 Forever@always.love!<\/a><\/p>\n

Forever@always.love<\/u>!
\nYou’re the only one I’m dreaming of!
\nNo diamonds and pearl friends,
\nNo Wide Web and World friends,
\nDo for me what you do, my Love.<\/p>\n

You know I really need you underneath this Texas moon!
\nI really need you now my love; I really need you soon!
\nMy heart burns for you like stars in Heaven up above!
\nI\u2019ll see you very soon, my dear:\u00a0 Forever@always.love!<\/a><\/p>\n

Forever@always.love<\/u>!
\nYou’re the only one I’m dreaming of!
\nNo diamonds and pearl friends,
\nNo Wide Web and World friends,
\nDo for me what you do, my Love.
\nForever@always.love!<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

Forever@always.love!<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n
