Kathie Lee reveals her pain in new song
It's taken her more than two years, but Kathie Lee Gifford can finally write about her husband's affair."It was part of my healing," Gifford said last week in Maryland while signing copies of the CD "Born For You."
"And at this point, he was going to have to let me heal or he was going to have to find someplace else to live," she said. "And I think it was painful for him to realize how much pain he had caused me."
Frank Gifford had an affair with a flight attendant in 1997. In "Only My Pillow Knows" Kathie Lee sings, "There is no chasm so deep as betrayal" and "Now it is you that I feel most afraid of and you are the source of my tears."
Kathy Lee Gifford is leaving "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" this summer.

Historian gets award at New Orleans fete
Historian Stephen Ambrose picked "G.I. Joe" for the American of the 20th century and called New Orleans "the city that saved the world" as he received an award for his contributions to the city's military community.
Speaking at an annual Armed Forces Day Gala, Ambrose touted the National D-Day Museum, which is set to open in New Orleans June 6.
One exhibit will be the box-shaped boat, designed by New Orleans naval architect Andrew Jackson Higgins, which was used in every invasion by American forces during World War II.
Ambrose said he wanted people to remember New Orleans as a place where 30,000 Americans built the boats that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower credited with winning the war.
