A Friend Like You

Brookie,

Here's the words to the song we played as we ran down the aisle to the back of the church as Mr. & Mrs. Rob Hurt a little over twelve years ago:

The Lone Ranger and Tonto
Laurel and Hardy
Batman and Robin
It was Snoopy and Charlie
Friends through thick and thin
Friends to the very end
I think you would agree
That's how it is for You and me

I want you to know I need You
I want you to know it's true
That there's no way
I could have made it without You
It's so good to know
that I've got a friend like You

I tell you it's black
But you see it white
You say go left
But I know it's right
No matter where we go
Be it through the highs or lows
I will be by Your side
Cause You and I are friends for life

Through all of the laughter and tears
Through all the questions and fears
Through all of the winning and losing and trying
I will be by Your side
Cause You and I are friends for life (from Geoff Moore and the Distance, title song from "A Friend Like U" CD, 1992)

That part about "you see it black, but I see it white; you say go left, but I know it's right"...we knew it 12 years ago, but we've lived it now. A lot of times you see black and I see white, and sometimes that is hard. But I like what our song says..."No matter where we go, be it through the highs or lows, I will be by your side, cause you and I are friends FOR LIFE."

Brookie, I just wanted to let you know that this is still our song for me

I want you to know I need you
I want you to know it's true
That there's no way
I could have made it without you
It's so good to know
That I've got a friend like you

I love you,
Robbie
