Cash love letter tops Valentine's Day poll
A birthday poem late country legend Johnny Cash wrote to his wife June has topped a British poll of romantic correspondence.
To mark the singer/songwriter's 65th birthday in 1994, the Folsom Prison Blues hitmaker put pen to paper and poured out his feelings for his wife.
"You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You're the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence," he wrote.
"We got old and got used to each other. We think alike. We read each others (sic) minds.
"We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes we take each other for granted.
"But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realise how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met."
His love note beat out letters from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, poet John Keats, Jimi Hendrix and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
The poll was commissioned by Beagle Street to mark Valentine's Day on Saturday.
