My Funny Friend And Me

My Funny Friend And Me
In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wonder just what happened
To the life we knew
Before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me
And you reminded me

That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
What is simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
When the only world I knew was upside down
And now the world and me
Know you carried me
You see the patterns in the big sky?
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost, could refuse to try
But you made it through in the dark night
Who would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me?
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different
You showed me something pure
I was always seemed so certain
But I was never really sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And look who made it through
But your funny friend and you

You see the patterns in the big sky?
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet and the bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We'll be together 'til the end this time
Don't know the answer or the reason why
We'll stick together 'til the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
Who would the angels send
But that unlikely blend
Of those two funny friends? That's us
