in this world of deceit
you do not know who to believe

you hope and pray
that their heart
is as true as yours
not mislead you into the dark

you ask my advice,
well you know that you and I
are so much alike
don't let no-one toy with your heart

you once
asked me to marry you
I laughed , but in good taste i said
ya must be insane
you and I, uhuuuh no way..

you are my best friend
you are like a brother
not like the six i already had
but like ,the one that i didn't have and
let me get away with things
and didn't run home telling my kids
ya think i'm gonna let go of all that?
think again..

I enjoy having fun with you
we were forever playing match-maker for each-other
he's no good, she's no good for you
she's too shallow,he's too shallow
turns out no one would do
for either one..

I lost the love of my life at the start of my prime
at the same time i helped you find yours

I struck gold for you I introduced you
to someone whom I thought was the perfect wife
she was several years above us
but 'aye you both hit it off and I knew why
she captured the heart of the cool guy
that hung out with me and my kids late at night

I guess we did do some wild n crazy things at one time
nothing too damaging I'm glad

then you loose her exactly one year later to the date
giving birth to a child, she confessed was not your own
it didn't faze you
your love was ever so true
you notified the real dad shortly before his birth
incase he wanted to be a part of his sons life
I respected his wishes all too well
when he gave you full custody
because he said you were the deserving dad
ya gave that child your name
you reared him as your own

you are still cool and awsome as can be
I am the luckiest gal on earth tonight
with two fine gentlemen at the end of each arm
this evening as we celebrate
the birth of you first grandchild "Jewel Leigh"
you whisper in my ear
"surrogate mom"
I give ya that sly smile like don't even think about it buddy...
you are my one and only best friend..
lets keep it like it has been since we first meet..
congratulations Grandpa..
like you tell me...keep believing...
not everyone in this world will decieve a tamed heart....
i too will always have a special place in my heart and home for you..

a 2thumbs up to Julie from the window as she glances over the clouds...
her son has been very well taken care of by my best friend...
