MORE
THAN A SONG
Submitted by: David Barton
My girlfriend and I have been dating about six months throughout which she consistently amazes
me with her compassion and warmth. As I am a songwriter, I have often been inspired to write
about the pieces of her that I find so stirring and compelling, but had not shared any of those
writings with her until recently.
Having secretly written her a song, I hinted about it in email but didn't directly come across
and tell her about it. Since she lives 5 and a half hours away from me and in another country, I
just said, "Be by the phone this Friday at 7 PM and I'd give you a present that you'll love." I
even suggested that we should both get dressed up and she could do her hair and it would be like a
romantic evening we'd share if we lived in the same town.
So here's the catch: I was actually driving to sing her the song in person. My request for her
to wait by the phone at 7 PM was simply to assure she was there when I arrived. So I drove there
and at 7 PM I knocked on her door. When she opened it with wide eyes I was there kneeling on
the front porch and singing about the many things that make her so beautiful. We were already
dressed up, so when her happy tears ebbed I took her out to eat at her favorite restaurant.
