Friends

Since I almost always start a post with lyrics from a song, can't stop now. I was thinking the other day about some of the people I work with--not the folks in my office, but the folks out in the field that I correspond with, talk to on the phone, and occasionally get to visit. Over the last three years, these business partners have become my friends, real friends, the kind you can vent to and share joys and sorrow with. When my Dad died almost two years ago, my business friends shared in my sorrow. When my daughter had twins, they shared in my joys, and worries. Although they are far away, I think about them every day and appreciate how wonderful they all are. Some of them have moved into different positions, meaning that I don't have as much contact as before, but even those folks stay in touch. So to all of my wonderful friends out there, across the country, I dedicate this song to you.

Bette Midler - You've Got To Have Friends



And I am all alone
There is no one here beside me
And my problems have all gone
There is no one to deride me

But you got to have friends
The feeling's oh so strong
You go to have friends
To make that day last long
I had some friends but their gone
Someone came and took them away
And from the dusk till the dawn
Here is where I'll stay

Standing at the end of the road, boys
Waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or bored
I'm gonna get me some of them

Cause you got to have friends
La la la la la la la la la
Friends, I said you,
Oh you, yeah you, I said
You got to have some Friends
Something about friends
Just right friends
Friends, friends, friends

I had some friends oh but they're all gone, gone
Someone came and snatched them away
And from the dusk until the very dawn
You know here is where I gotta stay
Here is where I gotta stay
And I'm standing at the end of a real long road
And I'm waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or freezing cold
I'm gonna get me some of them

Cause you got to have friends
That's right friends
Friends,….I gotta see my, I gotta see my
I gotta see all of my friends, friends
Friends, friends, friends
Ohhh
