about
Boy, this song requires a little explaining. Some have asked me, "Why did you write a memorial song for your wife Cheri? She's still much alive."
I am not fatalistic or pessimistic. But when you reach my age people you love die. It is the cycle of life. A few years ago my father who was my hero, my mother, my cousin, and my mother-in-law all died in a 6 month period. Likewise a friend died recently. I composed a song for each of them and and performed them at their funerals. But here's the thing...none of them heard their song of celebration and honor because I wrote them after they died, So I decided I would not let that happen to the most important person in my life. My wife Cheri is my rock, my best friend, my muse, my lucky penny, and the Apple of My Eye. So I asked Cheri's permission and she said, "OK."
I get choked up everytime I play or listen to it. That doesn't make it bad.
lyrics
The Apple of My Eye
Verse 1:
We met one day in San Jose, so long ago
She gave me the sweetest smile
Right_then_I_knew she’s the one for me,
And we sealed our love in style
Chorus A:
All the times that we’ve had together
Seems just a moment in our lives
But the time at hand my love
is when you are by my side
Verse 2:
She said to me, “Here’s our baby to hold and play,
just keep her by your heart.”
I said, “Now darling don’t you fret,
she’ll be my most important part.”
Chorus A:
Verse 3:
We played and lived and danced all night
And time went by you see
Then our baby gave us a tiny boy
He’s been our youthful key.
Chorus A:
Verse [Instrumental Piano Solo]
Chorus A:
All the times that we’ve had together
Seems just a moment in our lives
But the time, at hand, my love
is when you are by my side
Verse 4:
She came_to_me, and said,
“I think I’m getting old.”
And then she began to cry
I said, “now Darling don’t you fret.”
You’re still the apple of my eye
Chorus B:
All the times that we’ve had together
Seems just a moment in our lives
But the one thing I’ll miss the most
Is that you were by my side
Verse 5:
She held my hand and said,
“I’m sorry but I have to go,” and then she closed her eyes....
I miss that girl from my home town
Did I tell you she was the apple of my eye
Final Chorus:
All the times that we’ve had together
Seems just a moment in our lives
But the one thing I need to say
is that I Love you
Goodbye my love
Sleep tight my love
