Story Behind The Song
Lost my best friend of 44 years and this was written for him.
Song Description
This is a song about the emotions of losing a best buddy who I was in contact with all the time. My sounding board for so many things. The references to the phone are literally what keeps happening. I wait for a phone call, I start to make a phone call or text him, etc. 44 years and now it's relegated to memories. RIP Buddy

Lyrics
You Called Me Brother (Anthony's song)
Tim Sharp/Bryan Harkness ©2020
Verse 1
The sun has lost it's will to shine
As the darkness laughs and sings
Since you went away with no goodbye
Not a word, not a note, not one thing
Chorus
You always called me brother and it felt the same to me
We came from different mothers, but we're damn sure family
I started calling Jesus when you quit answering
I keep on waiting for my phone to ring
Cause this don't feel right to me
Verse 2
The moon can't find a starry sky
And the wind can't fill no sails
I can't forget day your candle died
You left me all alone, and you're gone, and it feels like Hell
CHORUS
BRIDGE
No more best friends growing old
No more stories to be told
You left me here - for streets of gold
ALT CHORUS
You always called me brother and it felt the same to me
We came from different mothers, but we're damn sure family
I started calling Jesus but He will not answer me
I'm stuck here in this nightmare of a dream...
I keep waiting for my phone to ring....
It just don't feel right to me
It don't feel right to me
It just don't feel right to me
