When they heard it
Someone in your life has a story like this one.
You already know it. That is the whole qualification — you answer the questions, and our songwriters do the writing.

“But they're impossible to buy for.”
That is usually the point. Someone who already owns everything, or who insists on nothing, cannot be given another thing. But nobody already owns a song about their own life. It cannot be returned, outgrown, or found in a shop, and it can never be recreated for anyone else — it is built from what you alone know about them.
“I'm not a writer.”
You don't have to be. Opal answered a few questions, the way you would text a friend. Our songwriters turned those answers into the song you just heard.
“What if it misses?”
Then you tell us and we make it right. Every song carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so the risk of finding out is not yours to carry.
“Is it worth it?”
Custom songs typically cost $500 and up. This costs a fraction of that, arrives inside a week, and is theirs for the rest of their life.

[0:00] My name is Opale Eckshaw. [0:02] I made this timeless video for my daughter, Lara, because I wanted something special for her 40th birthday. [0:10] I'd seen several songs and stories prior to ordering and thought it would make a special gift, but wondered if it was a scam. [0:17] I started the process, but I hit exit because it seemed too expensive. [0:22] Timeless songs didn't give up on me but sent a notice of a discount, so I went for it. [0:28] I couldn't think of any other gift that would make my daughter feel truly loved and special at this milestone in her life. [0:35] She didn't have it easy, she became a widow at age 30 after only two years of marriage and raised her daughter alone until she met Red a few years ago. [0:44] She's happy and whole again, I admire her strength and love for the Lord despite her loss. [0:50] I was nervous about how to present this song to her. [0:54] I wondered if she would like it or think it was silly, but when I told her I had something I wanted her to hear, it was just as I'd hoped. [1:02] She got a little emotional, her oldest daughter started to dance around. [1:07] Rewatching it makes me laugh just to see her excitement. [1:11] The little one was eating yogurt and didn't seem to care. [1:14] And I missed videoing her doing a little shoulder dance. [1:19] I'm very glad I have the song. [1:22] It's a cherished memory. [1:24] Timeless song was wonderful to respond to my questions and made this process easy and worthwhile.
The words they heard
[Verse 1] Morning light on kitchen walls, Coffee warm and gentle calls, There's a spirit in this room, A joy that chases out the gloom. A daughter born with fire inside, Honest heart she'll never hide. [Chorus] Oh, we love you forever, We'll like you for always, As long as we're living, Our baby you'll be. A gift from the heavens, A grace that keeps giving, Sweetest song of family, Lara, blessed and free. [Verse 2] Two little girls who hold your hand, Nine and two, they understand The strength it takes to give your all, To rise each time and answer the call. Your laugh rings out like Sunday bells, A story only your heart tells. [Chorus] Oh, we love you forever, We'll like you for always, As long as we're living, Our baby you'll be. A gift from the heavens, A grace that keeps giving, Sweetest song of family, Lara, blessed and free. [Bridge] Every tradition, every year, God has held you close and near. Independent, brave, and true, Heaven poured its light through you. [Verse 3] So on this day we lift our praise, For all your bright and glowing days. The love you carry, pure and wide, Runs like a river, deep as tide. Keep dancing, daughter, keep the flame, Lara, joy forever in your name. [Chorus] Oh, we love you forever, We'll like you for always, As long as we're living, Our baby you'll be. A gift from the heavens, A grace that keeps giving, Sweetest song of family, Lara, blessed and free. [Outro] Love you forever, like you for always, As long as we're living, our baby you'll be.
