The Story Behind the Song: “She Is the One”
After 46 years of marriage, you’d think I’d have said everything there is to say to Sharon. But love has a funny way of growing deeper, even after decades together. One quiet evening, I found myself sitting with a cold beer, flipping through old memories in my mind like pages in a well-worn photo album.
I thought about all we’d been through: the laughter, the fights, the healing, and the quiet moments that said more than words ever could.
That’s when the first lines came to me:
“She’s the one—my heart’s desire / A gift from heaven, setting my soul on fire.”
It wasn’t planned, and I wasn’t trying to write anything special. I was just feeling grateful that after all these years, Sharon is still the one I want to be with.
The memories came flooding in Lady and Duke, our ponies, wild and free. And then there is the camper we spent many nights in where we’d sit out front with the ponies and talk, or sometimes say nothing at all.
It’s funny how those little moments end up meaning the most.
