about
During the lockdown, a phone call can mean such a lot. Stuart Fretwell and Ed Hintze have been collaborating on songs for about ten years. Stuart emails his lyrics and Ed sends back his recording. So, nothing new for these guys during lockdown. Nett proceeds will be donated to Weymouth & Portland foodbanks
lyrics
BE A FRIEND
It's o.k.
We're alright
No need to get upset
No need to fight
The day will dawn
New life is born
People fall in love
No time for scorn
BRIDGE
Our old ones they knew
Just what to do
Fought in two World Wars
But they came through
Times they seem so bad
Never worse
But a fool still wastes his day
And writes this verse
So, if you're feeling down about it all
Why don't you find that friend and make a call
You always said you would
But never found the time
Now time is of the essence
Be a friend . . .
CHORUS
Be an angel when you're able
You can lend . . .
Time and conversation
To that friend
Love to your neighbour
And people round the world
There's no time like the present . . .
Be a friend
There's no time like the present . . .
Be a friend
Soon you'll see
What has to be
The old ways you'll remember
With a smile
Then you'll know
Which way to go
See this as a blessing
Not a trial
So, if you're feeling down about it all
Remember now's the time for standing tall
Be all that you can be
And never take a fall
