A Song For A Best Friend

Shannon is a girl of the water, living in LA
Driving around with a branch in the backseat on another sunny day
She laughs with her face to the sky
And the stars and the moon wonder why
They got so lucky to be wished on every night by Shannon

Shannon is a gift to the friends that she loves and she knows
As a close friend to pain, knows it well, she can tell the place where yours grows
And you start to believe, like a child
You would swear that girl can read your mind
She figures it out before you sometimes, that's Shannon

And when it's time to look at time as we do
There is anger and sadness but mostly gratitude
And it all will rise and swell
But only like the waves she knows so well
No one can take it away but they help Shannon
