❤ Dear Tamara Jo ❤

1993 or 1994

This letter was first put on the internet with my first website, in 1993 or 1994. It's been on every site since. This is better, you can finally listen to the song instead of only reading the lyrics.


  • Youve Got A Friend


"Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!"
Joseph Addison




💕 Dear Tami,

I worry, not knowing what has happened to you. I regret terribly not saying I love you the last time we spoke. I thought it was going to be the first in a long line of communications between us. You were supposed to send me a letter. I never got it.

There are people in my life who want to meet you, to become your friends. They know how important you are to me so you're also important to them.

Whenever you hear the song listed below, I'd like you to think of me and know that I'm thinking of you.

I promise you, I will keep this note on the network until you find it and have reason to call me.

My love, ALWAYS,
Gary

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest nights You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again Winter, spring, summer, or fall All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah You've got a friend If the sky… above you should turn dark and full of clouds And that old north wind should begin to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud now Soon I'll be knocking upon your door You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am I'll come running, oh yes I will, see you again Winter, spring, summer, or fall, yeah All you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold They'll hurt you and desert you Well, they'll take your soul if you let them Oh yeah, but don't you let them You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again Oh baby, don't you know about Winter, spring, summer, or fall Hey now, all you've got to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yes I will. You've got a friend. You've got a friend, yeah Ain't it good to know you've got a friend Ain't it good to know you've got a friend Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend
