Benny Mardones - Just For You My Friend

He wasn’t a hero, he didn’t have any medals to wear
He wasn’t religious, but he believed that God was out there somewhere
And he had a heart big as a mountain right to the very end
He wasn’t a hero, he was my friend

And time goes by, I can still hear you call my name
It’s time for the show, hurry let’s go, if we’re late you know I’ll get the blame
I wish that we could do it all over again
Just for you, my friend

He lived in a world that some people don’t understand
He was bigger than life and in the end he was more than a man
‘Cause he fought like a champion, he took care of me, if there’s a message that I’d send
You were more than a hero to me, you were my friend

And time goes by, I can still hear you call my name
It’s time for the show, hurry let’s go, if we’re late you know I’ll get the blame
I wish that we could do it all over again
Just for you, my friend

And don’t ever think I’ll ever forget you
It’s been 23 years this December since I first met you
And we’ll always say your name, ‘cause you’re in the hall of fame
And we’ll love you just the same forever

We’ll always say your name, ‘cause you’re in the hall of fame
And we’ll love you just the same forever
