A song about a childhood friend. Not sure where he his right now - wish I knew.
Lyrics
Great Plans
words & music by Jim Ricci
all is quiet and still
moonlight gently kisses evergreens on the hill
where we used to play
back in the day
hello there, friend
my, your eyes, they look so tired
could it be that we have come to see a present less inspired
well now, friend
we may not have too much to say
but that’s all right
cuz just the sight of you warms me up on this cold, cold day
[ch 1]
do you remember
how small we were
we looked at the world with such playful eyes
we had great plans, great plans
and I can’t believe it’s been 10 long years
since our space and time were intertwined
now we’ve gone our separate ways
still I knew I’d see you someday
[ch 2]
do you remember
how free we were
Our futures were filled with such wondrous times
we had great plans, great plans
[bridge]
hello, how are you, what have you been up to
I've been meaning to call you but I just can't find the time
I’m so tired of bearing this great big world
but I’ve noticed its weight is much lighter when you’re around
and I regret, my friend,
that it took so long
so long to see that the key to my peaceful mind is you.
[ch 3]
do you remember
how strong we were
we held on to our dreams with such tightly strained hands
we had great plans, great plans
