My mom and dad are in heaven now. But, this is the closest I’ll ever get to them knowing how I feel. My siblings all cried when they heard it.

2The lyrics we wrote from it
52 lines. The customer read these and approved them before paying.
[Verse 1]
Ted was the kind of man
Who never let life decide his road
Even after losing his arm
He still carried every load
He'd step out onto the curling ice
With a grin and stubborn pride
Never asking for sympathy
Just taking life in stride
[Chorus]
And we'll remember
The way he laughed out loud
The garden rows, the fishing days
The way he made us proud
Through every season of this life
His love still carries on
In Julie's heart, his children's lives
And every rising dawn
[Verse 2]
He loved the Blue Jays on TV
Summer evenings rolling slow
And somehow every single year
Too many cucumbers would grow
The kitchen filled with jars and laughs
Pickling season every fall
Simple moments, simple love
The things that mattered most of all
[Chorus]
And we'll remember
The way he laughed out loud
The garden rows, the fishing days
The way he made us proud
Through every season of this life
His love still carries on
In Julie's heart, his children's lives
And every rising dawn
[Bridge]
Michael, Leanne, Al Lynn, and Laurie
Carry pieces of his soul
And all the grandchildren he loved
Will forever make him whole
Though the house may now feel quieter
And tears may fill these days
His stories, strength, and love remain
In a thousand different ways
[Final Chorus]
So we'll remember
The strength behind his smile
The man who kept on showing up
Through every weary mile
And somewhere beyond these skies
Where peaceful waters run
Ted is finally resting now
His long day's work is done
[Outro]
And when the garden starts to bloom
Or the Blue Jays take the field
We'll think about the man we loved
And all the warmth he'd always bring

I was able to copy the song onto an editing software and created a movie with the song. My mom loved it. My dad died a year and a half ago and we miss him terribly. The song was emotional but so sweet too. Adding videos to it made it that much more special. Thank you!

I was unsure that a song could be written that could genuinely convey the emotions I wanted too and not song like a generic shallow song. I could be more wrong. Because the song also involved the lost of my little girl to cancer and the love that is help me through this painful time it was important that I find the right words to say I love you with a song that told our story. Our song is beautiful painful and true. I had options for the styles and could preview the song lyrics in advance. I could even edit the lyrics after the song download was completed.

After entering my story info, I immediately received the lyrics to an amazing song with the opportunity to purchase. I completed the purchase and within minutes the song was available to download. I wanted to make a small change and within minutes again, I received a message from Erik that the changes were completed. He was so kind and his words were filled with compassion. My beautiful daughter passed and the song was to keep her kindness and memory alive. It was absolutely perfect and I am grateful for the product and kindness he has shown. I would definitely recommend and I will purchase again in the future.

We used this song at Judys funeral . My brother ( John ) loved it and now has the words framed in his wife's favorite frame. This song made John extremely emotional and happy. Thank you for a great job. The process was very easy to do. The sound quality was great as well.
