November 20, 2007 — Trisha Yearwood tells AOL Music that she loves every song on her new album, Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love, but one is especially meaningful to her.

"Well, I could go through the whole album and tell you why I love each one, because I think it's my favorite collection of songs that I've ever done," she says. "My sentimental favorite, though, is the last cut, 'Sing You Back to Me,' because it immediately made me think of my father."

This is the first album Trisha has recorded since her father passed away. "We were very close, and when I heard that song, I thought, 'This is for my dad,' " she says. "I wasn't looking for a song to dedicate to my father, but when I heard this song, I thought, 'Wow, I really want to sing this...even if it's just for me to have myself.' So we went in after the record was done with just an acoustic guitar and did a performance of this song just for me to have, to give to my mom and my sister. And my producer, Garth Fundis, said, 'It's emotional and it's real, and you need to put it on the record.'"
