Voice of an Angel - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I heard this song last week on the Country Music Awards and it's been stuck in my head ever since. My first thought was that Alison Krauss has the voice of an angel and my sis, who's much more into country music than I am, said this is how she is known.

My dad's birthday was last Friday, and when I heard this song, I couldn't help but think of him. He was a simple man, born into a working class family, and raised on Maryland's Eastern Shore. He left home when he was just 17 and joined the Navy, leaving his roots behind. Some years later, those same roots beckoned him back and he and my mother bought a summer home on the same river he was raised on. I have so many fond memories of times spent on that river ... that was my childhood as we spent every weekend there. It really makes me yearn for the days gone by when life was much more simple. Thank you dad.

Simple Love - by Alison Krauss

Little yellow house sittin' on a hill
That is where he lived
That is where he died
Every Sunday morning
Hear the weeping willows cry

Two children born
A beautiful wife
Four walls and livin's all he needed in life
Always giving, never asking back
I wish I had a simple love like that

I want a simple love like that
Always giving, never askin' back
For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back
I hope I had a simple love like that

My momma was his only little girl
If he'd had the money he'd have given her the world
Sittin' on the front porch together they would sing
Oh how I long to hear that harmony

I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that

I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that

That's really sweet Deedee.

I have wonderful memories of my Dad as well. Growing up
really was so simple back then.

Lovely Deedee, I bet your dad is watching over you and thinking "wow that's my daughter am I proud?"
