"Fair-Weather Friends"
 Words & Music By Tom Tognaci

The songbird sings in the warm summer sun                       
Its song is sweet and endearing                                               
But when it has sung the last note on its tongue               
It flies away, disappearing                                                     
For oh, the sun may stop shining                                               
And oh, the snow falls cold                                                       
And oh, that winter's wind may throw                                           
A tantrum to behold                                                                   

You'll hold my hand, and that's all right by me                           
It's all been fine and fair sailing                                                 
You smile and I nod, and we always agree                         
But will it go without failing?                                                       
For oh, the sky may turn bitter                                               
And oh, the rain may come                                                               
And yes, that devil wind may send                                                   
Those clouds to block the sun                                                                   

All those fair-weather friends, they'll up and run, like the birds that leave the trees 
While the songbird chases the summer sun; I'll be left behind to freeze 
Left behind to freeze

Now,
Let it be known that this story I've told                                         
Was once first penned a cappella                                               
But when a wild storm brewed and its big thunder rolled                     
You up and shared your umbrella                                                           
Oh, how the sky had opened                                                         
With a trumpet's golden sound                                                 
The dark clouds went their separate ways                                         
And a true-blue friend was found 
A true-blue friend was found

All those fair-weather friends, they'll up and run, like the birds that leave the trees
While the songbird chases the summer sun; I'll be chasing you on skis 
In the frosty mountain breeze

Tom,
Great to hear you again. Neat song, liking the stripped back nature of it. And then when when you strummed it lifted up too.

And liked the last the last verse too.

Nicely done.

Hi M....thanks for stopping by.
Support for my stuff is almost dead.
The world is changing.

Yes, you are right @IronKnee things have changed but... creators are the same, little hearts that beat in a special way making songs and sharing them like little children show they drawings to their friends or parents...
Of course it's a simile ... Actually creators, most of them, show their work made with pieces of work of others.

Remember, you are an excellent true singer songwriter, never forget it.
