“The year was 1977 and I was sitting on a park bench in Central Park crying because I lost my only love. Katie….I love you baby. I know you are gone but we had a few months that nobody can take away from us. Always remember Jimmy Carter and Al Stewart. Thanks for this song….I’ll never forget my true love because of this song. It gives me chills in the autumn months of October and November. Kids today will never know the love you feel on a New York street in the 1970’s. Anything was possible and we did it all. Katie you are my angel. My only true love. If you find this know I still have your necklace and special shoelace. You are my one and only lover for all time. Until we meet again”.
