Kelly

Liner Notes

A special Valentine song for my forever love. Kelly and I first made acquaintance through a music webforum/message board back in the pre-social media days. We started exchanging messages on AOL Instant Messenger (some of you folks over the age of 40 may remember that one). We were just friends. When we first met in person at Purple Door in 2002 (a music concert festival in Pennsylvania) Kelly had me stay at her boyfriend's house, that's how just-friends we were. But meeting in person changed everything from my side, and I would be lying to say I was too disappointed when she and her boyfriend eventually broke up several months later. We started dating in June 2003 and were married in July 2004. Most of our dating was long-distance.

Lyrics

A Purple Door Led to much more It's wonderful to say

I'm glad that time Turned out sublime When we met that first day

Kelly - what a blessing you are In every way, you're my superstar Kelly - thanks for being in my life And for 21 1/2 years, being my wife

What a treasure And a pleasure It is to be with you

As each year goes So our love grows And I'm ever glad for you

Kelly - what a blessing you are In every way, you're my superstar Kelly - thanks for being in my life And for 21 1/2 years, being my wife

I love you

I would estimate I've probably written enough love songs to Kelly either directly or indirectly in the lyrics to win FAWM several times over by now.

I love hearing your origin story as a couple! That is just so sweet that you met over AIM! Back in those days it was seen as kind of crazy to meet over the Internet, but these days it seems that’s the only way people find each other. This was just very sweet and its performance and its devotion. I hope she like This was just very sweet and it’s performance and it’s devotion. I hope she likes it!
