about

For Joshua Christian Howell

"I am so blessed to have made the friends I have. Written in July 1996." - Brian

lyrics

I wish you well
You'll always be a part of me I can tell
And though I pushed you far from me
I'll love you

At night I dream
Our lives weren't as different as it seems
That we could live our lives in perfect harmony

A little part of me dies when he gets to hold you
The very best part of me regrets that I never told you

Speak tenderly
When you tell him about the way it used to be with me
But please don't ever say I cried

I know you're happy now and that should be enough
From time to time I feel I never should have given up.

I wish you well
Come what may I hope you'll stay my friend
And each new day please don't forget
I'll love you (forever)
