Randy Travis's song 'Diana' is a heartfelt country ballad that reflects on a lifelong love story, from homesteading in Alaska to raising a family. The narrator speaks to his wife, Diana, expressing enduring love and devotion. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that Diana has passed away, and the narrator, now near death, looks forward to being reunited with her in heaven. The lyrics convey themes of love, memory, and the hope of eternal togetherness, with a gentle, nostalgic tone that underscores the depth of their bond.

It all started in 1929 me and Diana had gone to Alaska
To homestead some of that free government land
Forty miles from the nearest gravel road
We cut our life in the ponderosa pines
We sweated hard to beat the winter snow
But the cabin's up and we've got lots of times
What have you got planned tonight Diana
Would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born
Jim was born the first year we were here
Look at him Diana he's almost grown
And the baby's in the cradle fast asleep
Just think in no time they'll be up and gone
What have you got planned tonight Diana
Would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born
Well time sure does fly by doesn't it Diana
It's been almost two years now since you've been gone
Speaking of time
I guess mine's about up
Just another breath or two
And I'll be home
And by the way
What have you got planned tonight Diana
Would you consider laying in my arms
I love you more than ever now Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born
