Story behind the song
I think a lot of folks have someone special in their lives they miss or someone they've shared important moments with, someone they want to reconnect with even if it's only to speak certain words that were never spoken, words that should have been spoken. I suppose that's where this song came from.
Lyrics
My dear friend, I am calling from four thousand miles away. I meant years ago to contact you and I’m sure you meant the same. I've been thinking of you always between work the wife and kids but just a moment here and there I’ve found is all my days would give. My dear friend I can only picture what you look like now. Are you all you hoped you’d someday be or is that all a memory now? Is the snow upon your rooftop? Are you married? Have you kids? It’s been so long, so long, so how are you? My dear friend. My dear friend, you were there when the only ones I knew were simply passing through my life, discarded souls and, so misused. But when the walls were crumbling round me you put sun into my sky. And when no others cared to comfort me you were right there at my side. My dear friend we watched the snowflakes melt. We caught them in our hands. We had our turn to make the young girls cry and then grew each to a man but now I miss the evening summer breeze like the grand kids gone from round my knees. Is that normal or is it just me? My dear friend. My dear friend, you told me once this life was followed by surprise. Then we parted, went our separate ways to see what we could find but now I long for sun and laughter and the colors of the Fall but it’s that laughter that I miss so much and is the reason for this call. My dear friend a billion seconds flashed before my eyes tonight. I saw you fly by so many times I had to call to make things right and, yes, I know a man should never cry so, please excuse these tears, I’ll wipe my eyes. It’s been so long, so long but no surprise. My dear friend. I just had to call to say goodbye. My dear friend.
