On those melancholy days
When trouble comes your way
Please keep my name in mind
When life is not so kind
I will listen and not judge
Should your spirits need a nudge
I will tell you that I care
And remember you in prayer
Don't fall into despair
Reach out, and I'll be there
The sun will shine again
For you, my precious friend
This too shall pass away
For skies aren't always gray
And let's reflect a while
On things that make us smile
I need you too, you know
Just thought I'd tell you so
On those days please realize
You're so special in my eyes
