A song written for a dear friend of mine who lost his physical life in a car accident a few years ago. He's now in the presence of our Heavenly Father and one day I'll see him again.

To tell you a little about myself, I'm a songwriter, audio engineer and music producer. I've been studying the science, art and business of audio engineering for about five years now and it has been so rewarding. I helped my mother achieve one of her life-long dreams by producing her first album (Freda Tapp - Dance In The Rain) and I'm excited to get started on her next one. I have also worked with several other artists in writing and recording some great music. I recently separated from the military and have moved with my wife and kids down to Georgia to be closer to our families who live in Louisiana. I'm currently operating out of my home-based project studio. I'm very eager to work with any aspiring songwriters and/or performers who are looking for a cost-effective way to transform their musical message into a great quality demo that could proudly be shared with others and pitched to record labels. I stick to positive material (Faith, love, inspiration, etc.). Please e-mail or call me if you're interested in my assistance with your music. I'll make sure that you're happy with the end product.

Story behind the song
One of my best friends was a man named Kevin Williams. He played the piano in our orchestra at Summer Grove Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA and I played the drums right next to him for a few years. His voice and piano skills were simply amazing. Tears would well up in my eyes as I listened to him perform solos at church. He was abruptly taken away from us in 1999 in a horrible car accident leaving behind two children, a loving wife, and countless friends. I'll never forget the grief I felt that morning. It's a selfish grieving because there's no sense in anguishing over a person passing through the gates of heaven and being in the presence of our God. But even so, it was still hard for me to handle it as a mortal human being who missed my friend. Well, I wrote this song on the guitar shortly after his passing and I was understandably very emotional, so I wasn't exactly concerned about making this a perfectly structured song. As you listen to it, you'll notice I go from talking to you (the audience)to then talking to Kevin. I guess I was trying to explain to you how amazing this friend was and the more I do that the more I want to talk with him again. It's a simple song, but it has monumental meaning to me. I guess it was the only way I knew to express my feelings for him at the time. I will always miss him, but it's just a matter of time before I'll be able to hang out with him again. Hopefully, God will let us lead praise and worship together as we've done so many times.

Words & Music by Micah Tapp Performed and recorded by Micah Tapp -------------------------------------- I knew this man, he was a friend of mine He loved his kids and adored his wife He was everything I'd hoped I'd be As a man of God, he showered love on me Kevin, I'm so glad we had that walk through the woods When we talked of all our dreams Kevin, I can't wait 'til we can sing in harmony As we did so many times On the day that we see each other I'm gonna' hug you so tight my brother Kevin, you mean the world to me You'll always mean the world to me His song was as soothing as an ocean breeze It helped my troubled soul find hope and peace He worshipped God in spirit and truth How I wish I had another day with you Kevin, I'm so glad I had the chance to be your friend Oh, you blessed my life so much Kevin, I can't wait 'til we can joke and laugh again As we did so many times On the day that we see each other I'm gonna' hug you so tight my brother Kevin, you mean the world to me You'll always mean the world to me On the day that we see each other I'm gonna' hug you so tight my brother Kevin, you always meant the world to me! The world to me! Kevin you mean . . . Kevin you mean . . . You'll always mean the world to me
