about
I wrote this song for my friend and singing partner Rebecca's birthday. Happy Birthday Rebecca!
lyrics
Rebecca, that’s my girl
Anytime you need her, she’ll help you right out
Rebecca, that’s my girl
Makes the weight of life as light as clouds
Oh, we sing, we dance with each other
With your sister, we can carry a tune
Day or night, we’re like toast and butter
Promenade under the light of the moon
On the corner of Battery and Lealand
In an apartment above Mrs. Williams’ garage
Arts and crafts, you do it with such feeling
Maybe a drawing, maybe decoupage
Oh Rebecca, you’re really something
Stars and rainbows and all of that
Ride some horses, catch some lightening
All your friends know where it’s at
(Refrain)
Clean and pure as glacier water
But you lindy like a vixen on a Monday night
You never stray, you’re a theologian’s daughter
You’re entire life, you’ve only had one fight
Do not worry, you are forgiven
For the time you called your roommate a brat
Your worst offense since you’ve been livin’
If you were a saint, I could believe in that
(Bridge)
Rebecca, I’m your friend
When work really sucks and you get bummed out
Look around and listen closely
Everybody loves you, child, have no doubts
