“YOU TALKED To ME”
When I was so In need. Somehow you chanced to call.
And you just talked to me and I felt ten feet tall
You didn't know my need. Nor could you ever see
The miracle wrought that hour when you just talked to me. But, friend, I felt courageous whenever you came my way,
because you took time to always see about me, and you
always knew just what to say.
Dedicated to
Jerome, Ernest and Jimmie
