  Speaker 1: There used to be a time when radio, MTV, VH1,

  Speaker 1: The critic wrote The Little Boy Who Gave Nashville Its
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Greatest Love Song. Well, that song was penned out by

• 1:26
  Speaker 1: had a different hit with this one artist. The name
• 1:29

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this song comes from Don's younger son, who always shared
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: his bedtime prayers. The song title is exactly how his
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: young boy would end things before saying goodnight to his
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: mom and dad. It's an innocent phrase that's been described

  Speaker 1: lost history Hey, welcome back to Music's Lost History. Nashville's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: greatest love song actually has a piece of real life
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in it, and it's kind of humorous. Paul Overstreet's wife
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was a hairdresser who got mixed up in a few
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: things and turned a woman's hair green. Can you believe it? Well,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it blossomed into the storyline of this song. Even when
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a woman's hair turns gray or disappears altogether, the love
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't disappear. Then came Randy, who was able to take
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: an ordinary love song toward what is still considered to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: be a marriage vow set to music. The song has
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: had so many identities. In 1987, it promised love to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: somebody forever. A decade later, the song became country music's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: way of saying, we promise you that we have never
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: forgotten about you. Being young and in love and all
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that remains after youth is gone forever and ever. Amen.
• 3:27

• 3:35
  Speaker 1: music's lost history.
