Thank you for being a FRiend! (Shameless vanity.)

Thank You For Being A Friend
( Andrew Gold )

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say I hope it always will stay this way My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party Invited everyone you knew You would see the biggest gift would be from me And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack I'd surely buy you a Cadillac Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say I hope it always will stay this way My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older With walking canes and hair of gray Have no fear even though it's hard to hear I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die And float away Into the night The milky way You'll hear me call As we ascend I'll say your name Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

I am a better person for knowing all of you, so I thought I’d mention it.
:-)

There will be people I forgot to ping.
I love ya anyway, and you know who you are.

Point is that we are all so lucky to have such great FRiends!

Songs like that brings back memories. Songs from a simplier time.
Man I remember when that song came out.

No New Year’s Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here’s just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer’s high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart

Everytime I hear that tune, I'm reminded of that nitwit Bea Arthur and her insane campaign to draft Henry Fonda for President of the United States.

I seem to recall that she actually took the idea outside of 'Maude' (where it was a plot scripted by Norman Lear) and tried to really get Fonda some traction for President, Henry reportedly had to actually tell Bea Arthur to knock it off and stop making trouble for him, LOL

But I forgive you for reminding me of that FanFan, you are indeed a true FRiend and I'm glad to count you as one of mine!

I don't back you up nearly as often as I should. I am not worthy .
