Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight, someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.
Even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing underneath the same bright star.
Don't know much, but I know I love you.

I never thought I'd write, because I'd never written anything in my whole life.

I first knew Laurie Lewis by her considerable reputation as a fiddle player and a writer of songs. When an opportunity came along to sing with her I seized it.
