For Graham Farrant

You gave me a place to come when all my hope had flown A space to find the person that the world had never known The room to drop my anger, my fears and misery Oh, you’re a very special man to me I have a living father whom I love more than I did Since I began to love the child who once I always hid It was your love and guidance that helped set this child free Oh, you’re a very special man to me I love your strength with gentleness, the beauty of your soul It shines out of your eyes and makes me feel so loved and whole I love your touch; I love your smile that twinkles wickedly Oh, you’re a very special man to me Now I have thanked my father for helping give me life But you showed me a way to live not fixed in pain and strife And I am sure that that’s worth more for all eternity Oh, you’re a very special man to me So I am saying think in the best way I know how A song to share my thoughts with you right in the here and now If it sounds like a love song that’s the way it’s meant to be For you’re a very special man to me Yes, you’re a very special man to me
