Did you watch Mr. Rogers when you were young? I sure did. I loved the show. Today's Music Monday song reminds me of what he used to sing in his "You Are Special" song (you can take a stroll down memory lane and listen!)...specifically when he spells out "f-r-i-e-n-d." Aren't memories fun?
"You are My Friend" names attributes that are essential to a good friend. What do you value in your friendships?
YOU ARE MY FRIEND (here's the link to Bandcamp so you can listen!)
The winter needs snow,
And the ocean a boat.
A present and a bow
Your zipper and your coat
These work together
And make the other better
Just like me and you...
You are my friend, friend
With you I can spend time
Laughing, talking, playing, walking
In the bright sunshine
Attached to you just like there’s glue, holding us together
Nothing better
Than having a friend
I’m so glad you are my friend
A balloon needs air
And flowers need bees
Your head and your hair
Like trees and their leaves
These work together
And make the other better
Just like me and you...
You are my friend, friend
On you I can depend
To laugh, share, support, and care-
You always understand
Attached to you just like there’s glue, holding us together
Nothing better
Than having a friend
I’m so glad you are my friend
It's a safe place to be when I’m with you & you’re with me
my friend…I’m so glad you are my friend, friend…
my friend
