David Campbell

He was born on a summer day, 1951
And with a slap of a hand, he had landed as an only son
His mother and father said, "What a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned, ah, yes, just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly, and we'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight, to be nobody's fool"

Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

In the summer of '53, his mother brought him a sister
And she told him, "We must attend to her needs
She's so much younger than you"
Well, he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh, how could his parents have lied?
When they said he was their only son
He thought he was their only one

Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

He left home on a winter day, 1969
And he hoped to find all the love he had lost in that earlier time
Well, his sister grew up, and she married a man
He gave her a son, ah, yes, a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly, they sent him to school
It taught him how to fight, to be nobody's fool

Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

Whoa-whoa-whoa, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy

I talked to my baby on the telephone
Long distance
I never would've guessed
I could miss someone so bad
I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But it doesn't seem to matter to my heart
I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

I feel like a kid with a teenage crush
On a school date
I feel like the lead in "Romeo & Juliet"
I'm a little bit dizzy
I'm a little bit scared
I guess I never felt this much aware
That I'd love her
I'm hoping that I'll never recover
Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

I really only met her 'bout a week ago
But it doesn't seem to matter to my heart
I know that I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away

Mmmmmm I love her
I'm hoping that I never recover
'Cause she's good for me
And it would really make me happy
To never let her slip away
Oh I know it's gonna make me happy
To never let her slip away

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say

Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

When it's storming you are my sunshine
When my mind gets cloudy
You bring the light inside
When it's hard for me to breath
You are the air I need
Sometimes I make you wanna leave
But you are always there for me


That's why I love
That's why I love, I love
That's why I love you
That's why I love
And girl I love
I want everyone to know
That I love you


(Nate, sing it for them now)
When I'm crying you are my handkerchief
And when it feels like I'm dying
You bring me up with just one kiss
Baby you're the star when I'm lost
That guides my way
At times when I'm losing my mind
You make everything okay


I love it when you come around
'Cause you know just how to hold me down
You sho nuff got my hypnotized
You are so beautiful and damn those eyes
Without you baby what would I do
I'd use all of my breath to explain to you
That I love you
That's why I

아들아 보이느냐 저 햇빛이 닿는
모든 대지가 너의 왕국이 될거다 아들아
들리느냐 제어지고 깎여지는 어머니
대지의 깊은 탄식이... 넌 지켜야한단다
널 따르는 저들을 위해 어제 보았던
숲의 나무 오늘 없고 오늘 불던
바람 찾을 수 없고 내일이 없는
우리 외로운 싸움에서 상처 입는다면
생각해 보렴 메마른 대지에 꽃이
피는 그날 아들이 이 세상은 자연의
섭리 속에 미묘한 조활 이루고 있단다
문명이란 이름에 할퀴고 간 아픔도
다스려야만 하지 조화롭게 넌 해낼
수 있단다 넌 왕국의 대왕이 될테니
어제 보았던 숲의 나무 오늘 없고
오늘 불던 바람 찾을 수 없고 내일이
없는 우리 외로운 싸움에서 상처 입는다면
생각해보렴 메마른 대지에 꽃이
피는 그날 그래 어느날 달빛에
취해 들려오는 숲의 노래가 맑은
바람과 웃는 햇살과 함께 맞이할 그
세상이.
