FRIENDSHIP VOW
By Jeff Swope <[email protected]>
No music to this one either. Any songwriter who can read music - can you help
me out? This song is more of a poem. But thanks anyways,
I'm just flesh and bone like you
With problems of my own
That wouldn't be here had I not
Left well enough alone
My name is a reminder
Of a shadow from my past
Another entertainer
Who was just too good to last
I've seen my life flash before me
Its not accounted for
When problems jump in front of me
I've always begged for more
And when I say I've changed again
It's just another lie
I never seem to change just right
But heaven knows I try
If now would be my time to go
What would you see me as?
Would you think of times we shared
Or lock me in the past?
Remember me as your good friend
Who tried his best each day
Not by my songs
Or what I drew
Or things I threw away
I may have been a sweetie
I've been known to really charm
And when I stabbed you in the back
You always seemed alarmed
I never meant to cause you pain
Or make you feel unsure
And if I did I'm sorry
I won't do it anymore
We all have trials and things in life
Which make us do bad things
Sometimes they really can inspire:
Reasons why I sing
But when I thought my patience
Had been tested to the end
I looked to you and there you were
You've always been my friend
You made me look down from my clouds
Of worry and regret
When Satan himself smiled and said
"You ain't seen nothing yet"
You took my hand and said "No fear -
It won't be here too long"
You've always been my friend
So I am writing you this song
You came into my life
And brightened up my sadder days
A new beginning
I see it now
For you…
…I change my ways
