Song for Judith

Sometimes I remember the (Cm7)old (Bb)days (F)when the world was (Bb)filled with (F)sorrow,

(Eb)you might have thought I was living,

but I was (Bb)all alone.

In my heart the (Cm7)rain was (Bb)falling,

the (F)wind blew, the (Bb)night was (F)calling,

(Eb)"Come back, come back, I'm all you've (Bb)ever known."

(F)Open the door (Eb)and (F)come on in,

(Eb)I'm so glad to (Bb)see you,

(Cm7)my (Bb)(Eb)friend.

You're like a (Bb)rainbow comin' (F)around the bend.

(Eb)And when I see you happy,

(Bb)well, it (Eb)sets my heart (Bb)free.

I'd like to be as good a friend to you (F)as (Eb)you are to (Bb)me.

There were friends who could always (Cm7)see (Bb)me,

(F)through the haze their (Bb)smiles would reach (F)me,

(Eb)saying okay, saying goodbye, (Bb)saying hello.

Soon I knew that (Cm)what I was (Bb)after was (F)life and love,

(Bb)tears and (F)laughter.

(Eb)Hello, my good friend, hello my darlin',

(Bb)what do you know?

(Bb)I used to think it was (Cm7)(Bb)only (F)me feeling alone,

not feeling free to be alive,

to be a (Bb)friend.

(Bb)Now I know we (Cm)all have (Bb)stormy weather,

the sun shines (F)through when we're together.

I'll be your friend right through to the (Bb)end.

(F)Open the door (Eb)and (F)come on in,

(Eb)I'm so glad to (Bb)see you,

(Cm7)my (Bb)friend.

(Eb)You're like a (Bb)rainbow comin' (F)around the bend.

(Eb)And when I see you happy,

(Bb)well, it (Eb)sets my heart (Bb)free.

I'd like to be as good a friend to you (F)as (Eb)you are to (Bb)me.

(F)Open the door (Eb)and (F)come on in,

(Eb)I'm so glad to (Bb)see you,

(Cm7)my (Bb)friend.

(Eb)You're all like (Bb)rainbows comin' (F)around the bend.

(Eb)And when I see you happy,

(Bb)well, it (Eb)sets my heart (Bb)free.

I'd like to be as good a friend to you (F)as (Eb)you are to (Bb)me.
