Here is what Sherlie posted on YouTube to describe the video:


Published on Aug 30, 2015
Written by Sheriie Matthews, back in the 50's before meeting Deke Richards. I originally recorded the song with my children's choir, A Band Of Angels and my church octet, The Circle Of Love. We also performed it often during our concerts. Deke liked the song, so I changed one lyric and a segment of the structure. Deke added additional instruments to my basic piano track, I sang the three background parts to accompany his very heart-felt lead vocal. He presented a CD of this version to his wife, Joanie for a Christmas gift. When Joanie said that she listens to his CD every morning, I volunteered to make this video for her.

Deke could really sing! Great performance, sweet story, and superb back-up vocal harmonies by Sherlie Matthews.
