I've been so touched by this song that I made it a part of my profile. My wife has a ukele and my new mission in life is to be able to play this song.

Here's a good article about the author of the song and his experience including the lyrics (for you, Truegrits), though they seem different from the above video. Maybe those guys added a few. I like the version in the first post better. The tempo and harmonizing is better but the one in the following link is nice, too.

Thanks. I loved reading the lyrics. (I prefer the written word over audio.)

I agree with you, that the original version with the three singers was better.
