About the Gardener

by Ty Herndon

Well the world just lost two lonely people The world just lost two broken hearts The odds were against it but baby here we are In our own little place in our own little corner This old cold world just got a little warmer For the rest of my life I'm gonna hold you in my arms

And when they carve my stone all they need to write on it Is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted Tell me something who could ask for more Than to be living in a moment you would die for

If I ever get rich on what money can buy It don't matter to me and I'll tell you why I've got it all when I'm holding you this way I'll live to love you I'd die to keep you Safe inside these arms that need you I'll be loving you with the very last breath I take

Ashes to ashes dust into dust I'll lay beside you forever in love

And when they carve my stone all they need to write on it Is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted Tell me something who could ask for more Than to be living in a moment you would die for Tell me something who could ask for more Than to be living in a moment you would die for

Out on the road we have the wonderful opportunity, especially in the autograph lines, to sit and talk to everybody and get the feedback on songs like my song, "Living in a Moment You Would Die For."

As an artist, it tells me we are doing our job when we’re touching people’s hearts. That’s the whole purpose of music. It’s what it’s all about when we can make just a little difference in people’s lives.

I had this seven-year-old boy and his father come up to me. The boy stuck his hand out and said, "Mr. Ty, I really love your song, ‘Living in a Moment You Would Die For.’" And I said, "Well, that’s great, son."

And as he turned to walk away, his father looked over and said, "No, he’s really got a story to tell you. He lost his mom. She died during childbirth." And the boy turned and said, "To me, she was that person - she died for me. ‘I am living in the moment that she died for.’"
