Dear Friend

(альбом: Out Where Bright Lights Are Glowing - 1981)

Dear friend, where do I begin?
I'm someone you never knew
Ah, but I know you through your songs
And friend, you've touched so many lives
I can only speak for mine
I took your words to heart and I sang along
I sang alone

When I was down I turned to you time and time again
Cause you knew what I was going through
With those four walls closing in
You'll never know how much it meant, friend

And, dear friend, I've tried to be like you
A gentleman in all I do
I've always looked up to you
And you've been a friend, always a friend

When I was down I turned to you time and time again
Cause you knew what I was going through
With those four walls closing in
You'll never know how much it meant, friend

So I guess I'll say goodbye to you again
Sincerely from a friend
Thank you Jim
