about

Well, some people just have that special glow don’t they. When you talk to them their smile and face light up and you can tell they have a lot of compassion and are present with you.

I hope to be one of them.

My friends are very important to me. They say write what you know, so many of them appear in some form on this album or will on other albums.

I’m a very nostalgic and sentimental person, so I’m always thinking of old friends who are still in my life and those that aren’t.

I like kissing friends on the face. I think I may have picked it up from the older gay community in my town. It's a very nice way to show affection.

I love my friends.

lyrics

Some people’s faces give off a glow.
They’re in the know of some light.
A gentle presence can melt the snow
and make a brooding room bright.

Learn how to turn on
and be a light to lean on.
Learn how to turn on
and be a light to lean on—
thinking bout
my old friends.

I truly love humankind.
It’s easy to find a grace.
Whenever I see someone I love
I plant a kiss on their face.

Learn how to turn on
and be a light to lean on.
Learn how to turn on
and be a light to lean on—
thinking bout
my old friends.

With the right friend
I feel enlightened.
Memories fade but I still save them.
It’s all right and
don’t be frightened—
they still have what you once gave them.

Learn how to turn on
and be a light to lean on.
Learn how to turn on light.

My old friends.
