"Sweet Lorraine" - A 96 Year Old Man Writes A Love Song!
SWEET LORRAINE by FRED STOBAUGH - A 96-year-old Illinois man wrote a song about his wife of 75 years and when he sent the heart-wrenching ode into a singer-songwriter contest, they decided to produce it for him. When Fred Stobaugh talks about his wife Lorraine now, it's hard for him to hold back tears after the life they led together he says was 'like a dream.' After she died, he was sitting alone in the Peoria home they once shared and for the first time in his life he decided to write a song. It just fit her,' Stobaugh said.
After penning 'Oh Sweet Lorraine,' he saw an ad in the local paper for a singer-songwriter contest. Though he was neither of those things, he decided to send in the ballad. 'I'll just send a letter,' he remembered thinking, though the contest rules asked for a video of the songwriter entrants actually performing their song. 'Send it all in. Never thinking I'd get an answer or nothing.'
But when the contest runner received just one giant manila envelope in a sea of emailed entries, they took notice. They never expected anything quite like what Fred sent them. 'In fact,' said Jacob Colgan of Green Shoe Studio, who ran the contest, 'on the actual envelope itself, it says "I don't sing, I would scare people, haha!"' Nonetheless, the emotion behind the lyrics was enough convince the studio they wanted the song.
When Stobaugh talks about his late wife, he gets a faraway look in his eyes. 'She was the prettiest girl ya ever saw,' he said. 'She gave me 75 years of her.' Jacob decided his company would have 'Sweet Lorraine professionally recorded. When Colgan contacted Stobaugh to tell him the good news, the bereaved husband welled up with tears. 'Why would you want to do that,' he wondered. But to Colgan and his crew at Green Shoe, the answer was obvious. Your song touched us,' Colgan told Stobaugh.
They set to work, collaborating with Stobaugh to craft a that would do Lorraine justice. When the song was finished, though, Colgan had reservations about letting Stobaugh have a listen. 'Because it meant so much to him it meant so much to me,' Colgan said. 'I was actually nervous.' He need not have been. Stobaugh could barely hold back his emotion as the songs final refrain, 'the memories will always linger on,' finished playing. 'It's wonderful,' he said. 'Just wonderful.' Stobaugh's touching dedication to his wife of over seven decades is available on iTunes.

Fred Stobaugh - Oh Sweet Lorraine
The lyrics:
Oh sweet Lorraine, I wish we could do all the good times over again
Oh sweet Lorraine, life only goes around once but never again
Oh sweet Lorraine, I wish we could do all the good times over again
The good times, the good times, the good times all over again
The good times, the good times, the good times all over again
But the memories always linger on oh sweet lorraine i don't wanna move on
But the memories always linger on oh sweet lorraine that's why i wrote you this song
Oh sweet Lorraine, I wish we could do all the good times over again
Oh sweet Lorraine, life only goes around once but never again
Oh sweet Lorraine, I wish we could do all the good times over again
The good times, the good times, all the good times all over again
The good times, the good times, all good times all over again

Oh Sweet Lorraine (TRIBUTE OF LOVE ) by Fred Stobaugh
A 95-year-old Peoria man isn't a musician, but the lyrics he put on paper are now being shared with the world.
Fred Stobaugh said, "I was sitting here one night, oh about six weeks after she passed away and just sat here kind of hummin' a little bit and it just finally came to me."
Stobaugh recently lost his wife of nearly 75 years. He said they shared a love of music.
He soon turned his sadness into a song. "We were, like, just as one we were. Lorraine and I."
Singer and songwriter Jacob Colgan remembers receiving Fred's letter. "What made Fred's entry so special was instead of a video, it was a large manila envelope titled Green Shoe Studio Singer Songwriter contest."
It was an entry to his Studio's songwriting contest. The kind of entry Jacob never expected. "He had written a song for his wife, 'Sweet Lorraine'"
Fred's song is about his life and his love for his wife. He said, "'Sweet Lorraine' I called it. Wish we could do the good times all over again."
Jacob said, "I started to read the lyrics and was so touched by the song and without even meeting Fred we thought, we're going to do something."
Fred said, "And I was surprised. It wasn't too long that Jacob called me and it really touched him."
Jacob said, "We wanted to put it to professional music and sing on it and he said, well you know that's great but I just don't have the money to cover it."
With Fred's blessing, Jacob wanted to bring his lyrics to life.
When Fred first heard the song, he cried. He said, "Wonderful, just wonderful."
Fred said, "It just touched me. And I know Lorraine, she heard that too. It just has been a great life. If I could do over again, I would do it."
Fred said he finds comfort in the sound of his song. It's something he has to cherish forever.
He said, "The song really helps me. It really helps me. It just seemed like she's just sort of with me. Which I know she's smiling, she's smiling down and she likes that song, I know."

A Letter from Fred " Oh sweet Lorraine " Song
Ein Brief von Fred
Eines Abends sitzt Fred allein in seinem Haus. Leise summt er vor sich hin. „Und plötzlich kam es einfach über mich" - die Liebeserklärung an seine verstorbene Frau: „Oh sweet Lorraine, I wish we could do all the good times over again („Oh süße Lorraine, ich wünschte, wir könnten all die guten Zeiten noch einmal erleben").
Kurze Zeit später entdeckt er die Anzeige von den Green Shoe Studios für einen Singer-Songwriter-Wettberwerb -- und schickt seine Zeilen in einem dicken Umschlag an die Produzenten. „Ich hab keine Antwort erwartet." Jacob Colgan vom Studio verblüfft das große Kuvert: „Eigentlich sollten die Teilnehmer ein Video mit ihrem Song auf Youtube hochladen und und den Link schicken. Doch dann kam da dieser Umschlag mit dem Brief von Fred."
75 Jahre wie ein Traum
Die Worte voller Liebe und Gefühl treffen den Musiker mitten ins Herz. Mit der Erlaubnis von Fred, der schon in seinem Brief schrieb: „Ich singe nicht, ich würde die Leute damit erschrecken -- haha", erwecken Jacob Colgan, professioneller Musiker und Produzent das Liebeslied zum Leben. „Oh sweet Lorraine" rührt auf Youtube und Vimeo mittlerweile Hunderttausende zu Tränen. So wie den 96-Jährigen selbst, als er im Video zum ersten Mal sein Lied hört.
Wie groß die Liebe zu seiner Frau noch immer ist, sagen nicht nur die Worte in seinem Lied: „Es waren 75 wundervolle Jahre. Oft denke ich, das war nicht wahr, das war ein Traum. Aber es ist wahr. Mehr kann ich nicht sagen."
