But I had to make the decision.
Am I going to tell this song directly to Nancy or am I going to tell this to a friend and say, you know, sometimes I think of her.

I think I'd rather have it coming directly from me to her.
So I changed all the she's and hers to you and yours.
I love you more than I ever did before.

Let's carry on making ripples in a pond and we'll see how far it goes.
I like the ripples in a pond idea because it's a good image for me.
For instance, if people pray...
The idea is that you pray and it creates ripples and it goes and it reaches the deity you're praying to.
I like the idea of saying something and it ripples out into the universe.
And I like the idea in a romance of saying, let's see how far it goes, because you can't plan it.
You can hope it's going to work and you can hope it's going to work out well.
But there is an element of guesswork where you're just saying, you know, fingers crossed.
