about

Sometimes, when things are really bad and you’re not sure whether you can bear to face another day, you might be lucky enough to contact exactly the right friend at exactly the right time. And they might say exactly the right thing, to get you through your darkest night. And eventually, you might write a song to say thanks.
- Cathy Rytmeister

lyrics

In my darkest night, you held a light
You helped me see the dawn
The words you wrote - comfort and hope
Gave me strength to go on

Words to fight the shadows
Lines of love through the pain
Told me that with my friends beside me
I’d walk in the sunshine again
The gift of your compassion
Flowed over my grieving
Awoke the courage within me
Affirmed the worth of my being

We came so late to this friendship
Bewildered, I gave it no name
Its true depth only revealed
In the midst of unspeakable pain
I miss the years we never had
I’m lonely for you in my past
Our history lean, but a present so rich
My friend, you always stand fast

I wish I knew how to thank you
I wish I could light your way
As you cast stardust and sunshine
Over my nights and days

And in my darkest night, you held a light
You helped me see the dawn
And I can’t say the words I want to say
I can only give you this song
