14. Don’t Worry Billy
(Stan Barnes)
Lyrics...
Billy you know I was thinking about you the other night, so I sat down to the Keyboard and grabbed a Sax and wrote you something.
It’s called Don't Worry Billy
Don't you worry about a thing Billy,
Things are not half as bad as they seem,
And even though you may feel down and out
Just remember Billy theres nothing to worry about.
Dialogue. You know Billy I think back to when we first met. You know life was so carefree then, but since then there’s been so many ups and downs and it seems as though you have had more than your share But you know what Billy, don't worry.
Here is something that should make you smile,
we are going through this for a little while.
And even though this world is just not fair.
Just keep on fighting man because we are almost there.
Dialogue. I remember some of the things that we used to do when we younger You know just chillin, and we never knew what life had in store for us we really didn't care I mean we were just having fun. And thats what we kind of got to do just have fun you know.
Don't you worry about a thing my friend,
You'll be back on your feet again.
And it may not be an easy thing to do,
but I'm going to be right here for you.
Dialogue. Billy you have worked so hard, everybody give him a hand.
You know what Billy, we are so proud of you.
Where is my Sax at? Oh here it is. Let me Blow for you for a second...
Believe me Billy, it won’t be long
the next thing you know you’ll be back at home
and doing all the things that you used to do..
And remember Billy, I’m here for you..
I love you Billy
14. Don’t Worry Billy. All of us have problems. All of us have pain. And in many cases these are the source of our hardshianp and our anxieties. These are the things that we worry about. But what makes us survivors is sometimes the circle of friends, family and love ones that are always there for us to pull us through. To support us when we need it most. This is a song about two close friends who shared so much as they grew from boys to men. However as they went their separate ways to explore life, love and happiness, both encounter the ups and downs of life as well as its different trials and tribulations, but one friend met with Tragic circumstances, sometimes one after another. So tragic that after the death of his beautiful wife, he found himself years later clinging to his own life. But just like he has done so many times before, he triumphed against all odds. This song was written in one night by his best friend. This song speaks of encouragement and support. It’s funny that while it was being written, the intention was to encourage his friend. However in writing it, he found that he was the one being encouraged. I guess as He says: “There is more happiness in giving than in receiving”. But no one knows that better than Billy. Here is to Billy for giving me more happiness than you’ll ever know…
