For Amanda: I used to sing this to you when you were a toddler as I tried to get you to go to sleep.

Now, you're an ocean away.

Girl, you know I miss you most of all. Dad.

@EastofForever today's the first time ever, that i read this from eastofforever...immediately it brought tears to my eyes...I too have a daughter, and although she's close by, I have the memories of when she was a little girl, and this was the song they played on the radio. call me sentimental I guess????

A memory - Pt I

December 1970: I was 19-years-old. I had just joined the Army. It was my first time so far away from home and family. . . and girlfriend. I was at Ft Lewis only two weeks when they began to shut down for Christmas break. All of the round-trip flights out of Seattle were booked by then and I and a couple companions would have to take the train from Seattle to NW Indiana. It was a three-day trip. It may have been on that train that I heard this song for the first time.

A memory - Pt II

As the first day broke on Idaho rolling by I began to get anxious to get home to see the girl. But as always happens when you’re in a hurry, stuff happens. Every day that train was delayed by something, sometimes for a couple of hours. We were supposed to make a connection in St Paul, but because of the delays we weren’t even close, and the next train to Chicago did not leave until morning.

A memory - Pt III

It was a Saturday night and bitterly cold. With duffels on our shoulders we dared once to venture out in search of a restaurant or someplace warm to kill time but didn’t get more than a block before the cold and our inadequate class-A uniforms forced us back to the station. And that’s where we spent the night, sleeping on baggage carts. The coldest night I have ever spent anywhere.

A memory - Pt IV

When it came time to return, the girlfriend cried. The train connected in St Paul again, but of course these were all on time. The song took on a personal meaning for me. I am now living in the Twin Cities area and took the family one day to locate it. The trains don’t stop there anymore. It has been undergoing some type of renovation and there was really nothing that I recognized. But as I stood there silent, trying to imagine and to feel the place, this song came back to me.

I wrote a song, because of this song. Took over 30 years to get the chorus and last two verses. My wife thinks it's about an old girlfriend named Amy. I just really wanted to use "Saint Paul" in a song.
