Some of these lyrics were inspired by my trips overseas when my wife was in the US. I always had a 40 day max limit on our time apart. But, it was mostly written about when I realized that God not only loved me as I had been told by several evangelicals, but that He actually liked me. I am Shari in this song, and my creator was singing about me. I hope no matter what your faith is, and whether or not you think that you are likeable, that you will hear your creator singing about you, “I love her”.
lyrics
She keeps her life in constant motion, traveling far across the ocean. I’m glad she had the notion to give me a call. We hadn’t talked for such a long time and maybe it might have been the wrong time, but I just had to tell her something she didn’t know. She never found a place to fit her that was the reason she was bitter, I think tonight it finally hit her, and now she knows. I don’t know why I hadn’t told her, she needs to find someone to hold her. I’ve got a place upon my shoulder and now she knows.
Shari’s got a lot on her mind tonight. I love her.
The hardest thing I know is to find your way back home. If she’s feeling all alone, at least she knows, “I love her.”
