Sometimes life is funny how
It'll throw people your way
And some are just to knock you down
some to pick you up again

And sometimes I'll write music
To help me speak my mind
And too many people are the same
But you're one of a kind

You stuck by me as years went by
And others let me go
Oh Alex, you're a great friend
And I had to let you know

So I wrote this for your birthday
And I've quickly gotta say
I hope that you don't mind it being
Just a few months late
