"I want to be rich in memories, not money."
That's becoming an anthem, a prayer, a direction of my life. Thanks for saying it so well.

You're the best musician of the world, buddy. You're a legend, man. Thank you for being an instrument of our Savior.

This song means so much to my wife and I. It brings back truly wonderful memories of our life and love. We fell in love long distance back in the payphone times and love alone has been our inheritance for 33 years best friends, 25 years married, 3 boys, and a bunch of Grandkids ... memories, not money ... God bless you, Jon.

I remember when we first started
Those Tennessee summer nights
From your little Brentwood apartment
With 10 cent wings for the drive
We fell in love long distance
Back in the payphone times
We didn't have nothing to offer each other
Except for the rest of our lives
And our home was our story
Yah our home was our story alone
Your heart is a work of art
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance honey
We've come so far
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance
Our inheritance honey
I was working up a conversation
But I didn't know how to start
Cause I didn't think you had the patience
And I didn't think you had the heart
I was looking for salvation back in the convent stars
And our dead-end communication was only driving us a part
Yah so what are the chances that we survive
Even fall in love a second time
Honey you and I we got the storyline of a lifetime
Your heart is a work of art
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance honey
We've come so far
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance
Our inheritance honey
Yah our inheritance honey
And our home is our story
Yah our world's always rearranging
Everytime we go on tour
We grew up as slow as we wanted too honey
But we're not the kids that we were
I can still remember that first sunrise
Holding you near me for the first time
Your heart is a work of art
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance honey
We've come so far
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance
Our inheritance honey
Yah our inheritance honey
Yah our inheritance honey

How does he do it? Bare bones, acoustic, B&W and deeply true lyrics that hit on such salty and sweet feelings we all share - and it's delivered with lightness and we end up wanting to play it again due to the hope that last...
we are sending appreciation 2 U!

This is my favorite solo song of yours, Jon. It's a beautiful song. I've listened to it so many times. The lyrics are amazing. "Your heart is a work of art. I wanna be rich in memories, not money. Our love is our inheritance, honey". Beautiful.

Just wanna give a giant thank you to Jon, for creating and performing such great music. I know you probably get this all the time, but your music has done a lot for me. A lot of your music has brought me out of a lot of dark times in my life, and it's brought me back to my Catholic faith more than once. The song Always especially has been literally life changing. There aren't many words for how I feel or how grateful I am, but if there were I'd go on forever. So, thank you. very very very much.

[Helena-miit]
