“YOU MAY NOT SING LIKE YOU USED TO… BUT YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MY SONG.” Those are the opening words of Mary Travis’s new ballad, “Still My Man,” a tearful love letter to her husband, Randy Travis — the man she refused to let go when the world told her to say goodbye. When doctors told her to “pull the plug,” Mary stood firm. “No,” she said. “He’s still in there — and I’m not leaving him.” That choice — of love over fear, of faith over surrender — changed everything. Years later, Randy is still here, his quiet strength a living testament to her devotion. In the song, Mary pours out every heartbeat of that journey — the nights spent in prayer, the endless hospital rooms, the unwavering belief that love could heal what medicine could not.

“You may not sing like you used to… but you’ll always be my song.”
When doctors told
But Mary didn’t.
She chose faith.
She chose fight.
She chose love.
And years later, Randy is still here — fragile, soft-spoken, but alive — a living testament to a woman’s vow that “forever” really does mean forever.
A Love That Wouldn’t Let Go
After Randy’s devastating stroke in 2013, doctors warned Mary that recovery was impossible. Friends prepared for the worst. But Mary refused to leave his side.
She held his hand through months of silence, fed him, prayed over him, and played his own songs beside the hospital bed — hoping that somewhere inside, he could still hear her.
“I never stopped believing that music would find him again,” she once said.
And somehow, it did.
“Still My Man” — A Song From the Quiet Places
Now, after years of private pain and healing, Mary has written her own song — a delicate, trembling ballad titled
It’s not about fame, or loss, or even strength.
“It’s about love that doesn’t leave,” Mary explains softly. “Even when the body does.”
The song opens with a whisper of piano, her voice small but steady:
“The house got quiet when the music stopped,
But your heartbeat still keeps time with mine…”
Each lyric feels like a prayer, a letter written in the dark and finally spoken aloud.
A Promise Kept in Every Note
By the final chorus, the melody swells — not in triumph, but in grace. You can almost hear her whisper to him:
“You may not sing like you used to…
But you’ll always be my song.”
When the last note fades, so does the line between pain and peace. Because in Mary’s voice, you hear both.
Country Music’s Most Faithful Love Story
Fans who’ve heard early previews call “Still My Man” the most emotional country song in years — a love story not built on fairy tales, but on endurance, forgiveness, and faith.
Randy, sitting beside Mary during the first playback, reportedly smiled — the same quiet smile that once lit stages across America.
“He squeezed my hand,” Mary recalled through tears. “That was enough.”
“Still My Man” — written and performed by Mary Travis.
A love letter to the man who gave her music… and to the promise that love never really ends.
