“With All Of My Love For As Long As I Live”

Sunshine and Matt had had a quarrel. It really didn’t amount to much of anything, really. But as with any good Soap Opera, it escalated out of control ! Before long, Matt was threatening to leave the farm and move back into town.

Sunshine helped him with that decision by throwing all his clothes out the window!

Matt angerly bundled them in a bag and rode away.

The moment he got to Dodge, he ran into his office and wrote her this letter:

My Darling, Darling Sunshine,

Please forgive me. I can’t even remember what went wrong. I only know that I’m ready to come back to you. I’ve been gone for 15 minutes and I’m already homesick. (5)Because of you this lousy cot in my office will never be home, again. (4)When you say you love me…..And you have MANY times….Just not TODAY…. I know you really do, honey.

(7)If I had a chance to tell you something, this would be it……….. I think I’ll put it in a song, the way you do, my little munchkin. Okay…Here goes:

♫ ” You have (2)Never been unloved.

You’re my star up in the sky.

You’re the words to my sweet,sweet lullaby.

(1)Behind these hazel eyes, yes I know they’re really blue.

I’m cryin’ for you SunnyMac, please let me be with you. ♫ ”

With All Of My Love For As Long As I Live,

MattBaby

Meanwhile Sunshine was back on the farm strumming her guitar as she wrote a song for HIM:

♫ ” (3)How do you mend a broken heart……..

When (6)Your baby doesn’t love you anymore?

How do you go on living, when he marches right out the front door?

(8)Have you ever seen the rain? Babe I’m going quite insane. Well it’s raining in a place I call my soul.

Come back to me Matt. I’ll stop being such a brat.

I’ll really try to have more self control.♫ ”

With All Of My Love For As Long As I Live,

Your Sunshine

I hear tell that Matt delivered his letter to her himself. After she read it, she sang him her song.

Sunshine and her Matt cannot be reached for comment.

They are making up for lost time…… After all………….

They were apart for TWO WHOLE HOURS !!
