GLORIA ROUBAL'S DAILY HAND GENERATED TYPE PHRASE #202

I miss Border's Books and Music Store. Yes, it was a chain store, and I prefer to patronize locally owned businesses, but when it came to finding new music (before the last decade of ways to find it online), Border's was great. They had lots of headphone stations and tons of CDs you could listen to in order to see if you liked it enough to buy it.

I found a lot of music this way. One such artist was Abra Moore. Her record, "Strangest Places" was and still remains a favorite of mine to this day. I have most other recordings of hers as well, but none of them quite measure up to this one.

While listening to my ipod on shuffle the other day, "Your Faithful Friend," a song from "Strangest Places," played, and I was taken back to the time some 18 years ago when I discovered her music. It's not my favorite song on the record, but it's really a sweet one.

LYRICS:

YOUR FAITHFUL FRIEND

Try if you can and if you can't
Sing if you want and if you can't, make a sound
Go on and on and on 'til you can't go on
And on any longer

Cry if you can and if you can't
Fall to the ground without a sound
Hold on and on and on won't you hold on
And on and on, don't you let go

'Cause I will be around
To catch you when you're down

You see, it's all about hope, so don't lose sight now
It's all about faith, so don't give up on me
It's all about trust, I'm lifting you up
I'm holding you safe under my wing

So try if you can and if you can't
Sing if you want and if you can't, make a sound
Go on and on and on 'til you can't go on
And on any longer

Cry if you can and if you can't
Fall to the ground without a sound
Hold on and on and on won't you hold on
And on and on, don't you let go

'Cause I will be around
To catch you when you're down
I will be around
