Song For Kathy - Robert Earl Keen

Kathy, there was time when I thought of

No one else but me and myself

Being on my own

And how can I start to apologize

For not being there to dry your eyes

When you were all alone

Flesh and blood, Kathy

Eye to eye

You’re my friend and family

You’ve been good, Kathy

To me and I know that

That’s as good as good can be

Kathy, do you remember when

I fell in love with one of your friends

And we left you by yourself

And you were all torn up inside

But for my sake you tried to hide

The hurtin' that you felt

Flesh and blood, Kathy

Eye to eye

You’re my friend and family

You’ve been good, Kathy

To me and I know that

That’s as good as good can be

Kathy, all grown up now

With pretty eyes and mountain flower

Coming into bloom

And sometimes, you know, the words aren’t there

To say the things you need to hear

So I wrote this song for you

Flesh and blood, Kathy

Eye to eye

You’re my friend and family

You’ve been good, Kathy

To me and I know that

That’s as good as good can be

You’ve been good, Kathy

To me and I know that

You’re as good as good can be
