about

lyrics

She hands me a lined sheet of paper and says
That she thinks that I’ve heard this before
And the verses start quiet
And the chorus rings true
And I know that she means it for sure

And the music flows down from our shoulders
And out through our fingers
In four-quarter time
And when I close my eyes
I can almost believe that it’s mine

And Saturday nights on the microphone
They make me miss you, wherever you are
Cause up there I’m The Sideman
When you make me feel like the star

So I called up a friend from the old days and said
“How you been? Are you busy tonight?”
And we sat by the pool and we traded old stories
And lapsed into silence, but that felt alright

And I know that the old days ain’t so long ago
But there’s a gap like the I-95
Is two thousand miles too far
For two friends to survive?

And it’s driving me crazy, this missing you
Any distance to you is too far
Cause in my mind I’m The Sideman
When you make me feel like the star

And tomorrow I know I’ll feel better
Cause I know that’s just how these things are
But tonight I’m The Sideman
When you make me feel like the star
