You and I
Lyrics by Teddy Kotch

If you could feel my heart
You'd feel a fire
Burning deep inside
I Learned that
Life's too short
And it's a bumpy ride
You and I said we'd
Take on this world together
We were best of friends
We were more like brothers
Sometimes we laughed 
Sometimes we cried
But things always 
Got better
Today we live 
Tomorrow die
I'm so glad we spent
This life together
You and I
I think of all
The days gone by
And memories 
That won't disappear
But I'm left here standing
With the pain and tears
Now it's not the same
Those plans they've rearranged
But I know
We'll be together in the end
Sometimes we laughed 
Sometimes we cried
But things always 
Got better
Today we live 
Tomorrow die
I'm so glad we spent
This life together
You and I
This tune was written by me and a good friend Teddy Kotch. We wrote this song together in memory of the late Richie Gough. Richie was a good friend of ours who passed away quite a few years ago, he had Hodgkin's disease. Richie was a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and drummer. He loved sports the Yankees,Giants ,and Rangers especially and was a fierce competitor. As a musician Richie taught me so much. He was always a stickler for details. He taught me how to disect a song and analyze it piece by piece. He was a perfectionist who expected no less than perfection from anyone he associated with. Richie was in the prime of his life when he died. It really sucks when you lose someone at such a young age especially when it is someone you knew you would have spent the rest of your life with. I could just see me and Richie at 65 years old sitting on the porch drinking a beer, jamming on some old AC/DC watching the Yankees on the TV. A lot of people have come in and out of my life over the years but I know if he was still here we would be inseparable, like brothers. Some people say as time goes by the feelings fade, but not so with Richie. I miss him more and more every day. The older I get the more I realize,in my lifetime people will come and go but there will be a few friends who I will have this special connection with . Richie was one of them. I miss him dearly and look forward to seeing him again someday.
