about

Frank: Dave was feeling kinda down and sent me an email about all the stuff he’d been thinking and feeling. We always have a lot of laughs but seemed like he was in a funk. I wrote these lyrics which basically say hey, I’m your best friend and I’m here for ya but I can only do so much, the rest is up to you. A short time later I was involved in a family situation which caused a lot of pain and heartache. I had to go out of town to handle the situation and while checking my email one night there was Dave saying something to the effect of now the song applies to me coming from him. So, this one is really special in a lot of ways for both of us. Dave came up with the music making this one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, along the the lines of George Harrison’s “Something”.

lyrics

Dear Friend

Empty words without a home
Alone in space and time
Nowhere to go nowhere to play
Not even in a rhyme
A magic touch is what it took
And since you came along
Those empty words have come to life
In meaning and in song

Dear friend
The one wish I have for you
Is that someday you’ll feel new
Again……………
Dear friend
I’ll do what I have to do
But the rest is up to you
And when…………..dear friend

You touch so many lives
Along the way that you don’t know
By things you do and say to them
Even when you’re feeling low
So take a breath and take a break
Enjoy life while you’re here
Dear friend and then you’ll see
Life is never clear

The scars of life
May sometimes never heal
But you can make a difference
In the way it makes you feel

Dear friend
The one wish I have for you
Is that someday you’ll feel new
Again……………
Dear friend
I’ll do what I have to do
But the rest is up to you
And when…………..
