Backstory:

Life is a kaleidoscope of experiences and relationships.  I was reflecting back on childhood relationships and my group of friends, including one of my closest friends, Mike Hagerty when I wrote this song.  Mike was a member of the cast of Second City, and never got to hear this song because about a few short weeks after I wrote it he unexpectedly passed away.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

We were best of friends as children

But then we went our separate ways

Life brought us together again

To have another chance to say



Bridge

I have always loved you

I have always loved you



V2

We grew roots in the neighborhood

You held my heart within your hands

When I felt misunderstood

You helped me heal and take a stand



Bridge

We cried until we laughed

And laughed until we cried



Chorus

We were as close as family

And at times you were my soul mate

You knew me better than I could hope

It was always a comfort to me

When you saw things others couldn't see

I think it must have been our fate

Reflecting life's sweet kaleidoscope

To unravel patterns so we'd be free



Bridge

You were always there for me



V3

Change is constant and time passes

Destiny brought us together

Like Alice through the looking glass

Childhood innocence becomes a blur



V4

In a world full of many rules

Which ones did you choose to break

I hope life hasn't been cruel

And that you've been loved for love's sake



Bridge

Life has brought you back to me



Chorus

We were as close as family

And at times you were my soul mate

You knew me better than I could hope

It was always a comfort to me

When you saw things others couldn't see

I think it must have been our fate

Reflecting life's sweet kaleidoscope

To unravel patterns so we'd be free



Outro

You were always there for me

Life's a reflection

A kaleidoscope of you and me

Life's a reflection

A kaleidoscope of you and me

You and Me

A kaleidoscope of you and me

Kaleidoscope, of you and

You and me
