Love Song for a Friend

So it's been another long one
What's the crisis of the day?
And if there's room for me in your schedule
Call me up and we'll go play.
And if you need you some coffee at four am
Well, I know just the place you can go.
It's got plenty of parking and the waitress is sweet,
But the service is kind of slow.

Refrain:
I don't want to be your everything
But I never want this love to end
And I don't want to be the lone star
In your personal heaven
You're my late night conversation
You're the wise voice on the phone
You're the warm embrace that lets me know
I don't have to be alone
We're not the sum of our parts; we're not the Ace of Hearts,
We're never broken, because we bend.
This is no solemn declaration:
This is a love song for a friend.

Yeah, we'll stay up late with our coffee
Have dessert if we're inspired.
Then we'll realize it's sunrise
And we've talked until we're tired.
And if we think about it, we are the lucky ones;
We've got rivers of love in our lives.
Some days we're sailing right down to the ocean,
Some days we're waiting for ships to arrive.

Refrain:

Bridge:
A word, a look, a tight embrace
All night we'll share the fears we face
I'll lift you up, you'll calm me down
It's a love so deep, but I can never drown, because...

Refrain

Notes: This was written about an idea, although it was written with a specific friendship in mind. I've had lots of these close friendships over the years, and I wanted a way to say, "Thank you."
