Hi Tom,

It must have been very difficult making this beatiful song about your friend.
Losing him is difficult, and singing those nice lyrics was a challenge. How many times did it take before you could sing that this way?
But, like others wrote too, if he could hear you, he would be sitting there also with tears in his eyes, but also with a big smile;
His friend made this beautiful song. For him.

Great song, Tom,
Hans
