A short time ago I posted this song (Hey There) as a saxophone instrumental and I appreciate all of the comments...I'm posting today the original vocal rendition that inspired that instrumental...my daughter Amber does the vocals and this maybe my favorite song she's ever done for me and she has done a ton of them (bless her heart!)...the song is about loneliness and hope...if you choose to...thanks for listening...Dan

Lyrics:
Hey there, I see that far away look in your eyes
Hey there, I know it really comes as no surprise...to you
Cause you’ve felt this way so many times before
There’ve been those who say they love you
Then they walked right out the door
It leaves you lonely and lifeless... and looking for a friend
Hey there, I see those shadows growing in your heart
Hey there, I know you just can’t find a place to start...anew
Cause you’ve searched through all the places
You always seem to go
And you’ve looked through all the faces of everyone you know
It leaves you lonely and lifeless... and looking for a friend
Searching for someone who'll really care
Looking deep inside for answers that aren’t there
Hoping in your heart there’s someone who will share with you
Hey there, there’s someone who’s been knocking at your door
Hey there, He’s the One your heart’s been longing for
He’ll never leave you or forsake you, you can trust in Him
His love will hold you and will take you to the very end
Never lonely or lifeless again...you’ve found a Friend
Never lonely or lifeless again...you’ve found a Friend
You’ve found a Friend
