Hi Everyone. I wrote this song a couple days ago after finding out that a close friend had just been diagnosed with cancer. I wrote it as much for myself as I did for him and I am sharing it now for anyone else who is going through a similar situation. The Friend You've Been To Me https://www.reverbnation.com/bobbywaynesongs/song/29923871-the-friend-youve-been-to-meDon't let your light dim, You've got to keep fightin', Though I know right now it's hard, sad and frightened as you are And unsure of what to do. But know I am with you, And all I have I will give you, So when you're lost and feeling down and there's no one else around I'll be there to comfort you. Chorus: And I will stay by your side, No matter what fate may decree, For it's the least that I can do, After all that we've been through And the friend you've been to me. Now you've been steadfast in believin', That all things happen for a reason, And thought your faith's been dealt a blow, this is no time to let it go It's your refuge in the storm. And we must never give up hopin', That those dark skies above will open, And the clouds will finally clear, and the sun will reappear And shine down upon you safe and warm. Chorus: (2 times) End

Bobby,
Its been a couple of years since I've seen you around, but sure glad to see you here again! Sadly, I do presently have an old family friend going through the same scenario as your friend--I had him on my mind throughout this day as well. I hope your friend beats this terrible disease, my friend has been battling for a year and not getting better, but we're still praying and hoping for that to change. Sweet song ole friend,
steady-eddie
