You’ve changed your tune many times since we’ve met
But I’ll always recognize you, you are part of me
I feel you whether in Jamaica or in the Angel City
You’re such a gift to me
Hey you, I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spend
Hey you, you’re my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I’m saying
And we’ve just begun
I’ve got one wish for this music to be an uplift
And I need an uplift to deal
And there are few songs all the people can sing along
One song, come along and sing it for real
Hey you, I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spend
Hey you, you’re my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I’m saying
And we’ve just begun
As I wander around, town to town
Lost and found, when so many others come and go
The sweetness pulls me through
Hey you, I gotta tell you my long time friend
I think of all those years you saw me through tears
And the good times that we spend
Hey you, you’re my constant companion
You always let me explain just what I’m saying
And we’ve just begun
Hey you, you never turned your back on me
When I gave up on myself
Hey you, you never turned your back on me
When I gave upon myself
Hey you, what would the world be like
Without you around?
Music, you’re my constant companion
