My Music, My Friend Lyrics

Before I arrived

Your warm tones I felt

Within the womb

Our hearts you would melt

As mother and child

Met for the first

A love of music

A craving, a thirst

Raised me on Diamond, Stewart

And Queen

Fleetwood, Pink Floyd

A melody stream

I owe you so much

My heart that you touched

You held me with care

When my feelings were bare

You launched me aloft

You helped me to soar

My music, my friend

My 'oh so much more'

First days at school

You taught me in rhyme

In chapel some met

With the spirit divine

When our teams took the field

Vision so bold

An anthem you gave us

A share bond to hold

The disco's first dance

The disco's first kiss

You played out the songs

Our moments of bliss

I owe you so much

My heart that you touched

You held me with care

When my feelings were bare

You launched me aloft

You helped me to soar

My music, my friend

My 'oh so much more'

Next into the big world

With hopes and eyes wide

Attached to my walkman

You there as my guide

Work isn't easy

That's the reason they pay

It's hard when you start

Through night and through day

The ladder we climb

The chances we take

The beats of our life

We move and we shake

I owe you so much

My heart that you touched

You held me with care

When my feelings were bare

You launched me aloft

You helped me to soar

My music, my friend

My 'oh so much more'

Through love and loss

And perhaps love again

Shared mix-tapes and albums

The music's refrain

Now maybe a parent

Sharing with kids

Rock, country, or rap

All of the hits

As music has shaped me

So now I curate

For those that now follow

Collections first rate

In moments of sadness

Or when I'm defeated

You cradled my heart

You never retreated

Your shoulder you shared

That everybody hurts

Emotions you healed

Through R.E.M.'s verse

In trying we fall

In falling we rise

Embrace the truth

No reason for lies

So thank you Springsteen

Collins and Cash

To Elton, Sting, Bowie

And to The Clash

You were my best friends

you shared every hour

Music you're with me

Your grace and your power

I owe you so much

My heart that you touched

You held me with care

When my feelings were bare

You launched me aloft

You helped me to soar

My music, my friend

My 'so much more'
