Lyrics
A Special Friend
These lyrics were inspired by a poem entitled A Special Friend written by Susan Garry for her close friend Robert Cezar. A few years later, Robert put this beautiful poem to music in a song of the same title.
Well I heard a tune, and I don't know why
But it rushed right to my mind
So I hurried home to play it 'cuz I liked it
And as I started to play this melody
I pictured you right next to me
And the words fell out, 'cuz it's all about
A special thing called you and me
You see, you are the words
And you are the tune
And may you find joy
In all the things you do
Just keep in touch, and don't you forget
How much I need a Special Friend like you.
You shared the seasons of my life,
Through many changes good and bad,
And I'm thankful for the friendship that we've had
You see our lives were crowded when we met
With plans and people in our way
How little did we realize
The closeness we would share today,
You see you are the words
And you are the tune
And may you find joy
In all the things you do
Just keep in touch, and don't you forget
How much I need a Special Friend like you.
For you have given me a hope
And more a firm belief
That there are many different things in life
You taught me how to take a chance
You taught me how to cry
And when the world becomes too much
Well your music helps me by
You see those tears I shed were for a love
Long since gone but still held dear
And you were there to help my fight a tear
And I wish that I could write a song
To tell the world how just much I care
But since these words are for you alone
Alone with you these words I share
You see you are the words
And you are the tune
And may you find joy
In all the things you do
Just keep in touch
And don't you forget
How much I need a very Special Friend like you.
