I'm Just Here To Be Here For You (Remaster 2024)
By Happy Ron

I'm not here to show you just what to do and how
I'm not here to make the pain go away right now

I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you

Y'say you don't need anyone to help see you through
I've heard that before and we both know you do
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you

And if you don't believe me I'll try harder
I'm gonna stay right here until you know the truth

I don't have a magic wand don't have a golden ring
I don't have all the answers or know everything
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you


It's been too long that you've been down and I know it hurts
But time will speed up, you'll move on, that's the way these things work.


I can't keep you from the fates that we all face
I'm not here to take your memories and hit erase
I'm just here to be here for you
I'm just here to be here for you

Nicely done, HappyRon! Cool song and great vocals. Simple arrangement underpins the lyrics perfectly.

Enjoyed your backstory as told on your website, too.

FWIW, most posters will include BiaB credits as suggested in the forum FAQ. Many don't, so your call of course.

Really good song and the vocal was perfect for it! The lyrics were a little stilted in a few places, but not too badly. Good job overall.

Cool song.

I actually knew a guy who's name was Happy Ron. For real. Well, I'm sure that wasn't his given name but that's what he went by and everyone who knew him called him by that name. Every time I saw him he'd always start the conversation by saying "Happy Thursday" or "Happy Saturday" or whatever depending on the day of the week. He was a happy sort of fellow. Always had a smile and something good to say. We rode motorcycles together. Same group, different chapter. We'd often see each other at chapter get-togethers. How can you not be happy doing that? Turned out that he lived not too far from me and eventually became a customer of my business until he and his wife moved from NC to somewhere on the northwest (IIRC) along the coast to be closer to his wife's family.
