FRIEND AND COMPANION (Si Kahn) For Elizabeth Kamarck Minnich I knew you were different Right from the start There was something about you That captured my heart I still remember How quickly it happened You are my lover My friend and companion Friend and companion Lover and friend Over and over And over again Who could imagine That women and men Could be such companions Lovers and friends We were so young then Who could have known We'd meet again After wandering alone All of those years Who could have imagined A lover could be Such a friend and companion Now we are older Together at last Freed from the demons That haunted our past Long as I live I know I'll be standing Right here beside you My friend and companion On Signs of the Times, by John McCutcheon & Is Kahn 1986
