about

A song I wrote for my step-children

lyrics

This is the first time I've been in this situation
And I appreciate how this must feel for you
So I suppose it's time we had this conversation
An opportunity to share our points of view

Sometimes it's hard to see the closing of a chapter
When there's no telling what the next one has in store
But you can find another happy ever after
And all you have to do is try another door
All you have to do is try another door

I'm not here to substitute someone who cannot be replaced
I've obligations of my own but what I have is yours to take
And I've a feeling we could be the best of friends
Until the bitter end

I understand there will be times when you will fight this
And I accept we won't always see eye to eye
But you can count on me whenever there's a crisis
Among the last to leave, the first one to arrive

This is just as much a learning curve for me as it's for you
And I can't promise that I'll always know exactly what to do
And though we'll have our disagreements now and then
When there's trouble I will leap to your defence
And fight until the bitter end
Untill the bitter end

So for everytime you're down and disconnected
When the thunderclouds are blocking out your sun
Remember you and I we're part of a collective
Together there is nothing we can't overcome
United there is nothing we can't overcome

So I make a solemn oath to be the best friend I can be
'Cos I don't think you realise what you've already done for me
When I'm broken you soon have me on the mend
That's how I know that we'll remain the best of friends
From now untill the bitter end
Until the bitter end
