Too Close by AndreaMitchell

Wow. It's so hard to say anything that could live up to a gift like this. No one's ever written a song for me before. And it's a great song. And it features your amazing vocals and your playing.

I am seldom lacking for words as most people who know me are aware. But this just leaves me speechless. I've tried to throw a few words around here but they seem inadequate.

Thanks so much Andie. You're amazingly talented and an amazing friend.

Oh wow...

What can I say, but;

Bruce, you certainly do inspire greatness.

This is the proof...

Sir Bruce... what a wonderful gift you've got!!! lucky you to have her your friend.

that was just such an amazing song by Andrea.... wow!!! ;)

Andie, your song writing and vocal talent always floor me. Youve been blessed with such a great gift and what's best is that you choose to share it with all of us. This song reminds me of all the great friendships ive formed through Singsnap. These friendships have brought out the best qualities in me.

Bruce not many can say theyve had a song written for them. Its a testament to how great a person you are. Youre a true gentleman and a class act. Happy Birthday Bruce.

Andie you rock my face off.

:D Okay took me some time to get to the end of this page :D I haven't played your song yet because I know it is special... I want nothing to distract me from that.

I have read your lyrics and I just know this is the most heartfelt and personal testament of a friendship there could be. You are a wonderful lady Andrea...

Now I want to hear your beautiful voice... I'll try not to gush afterwards... but you know me :D

So glad to see you back here and wow you look stunning! :D

Awwwwwww....

That was so gorgeous Andrea... you know as I listened I could see this as a future song in THE BEST of one of those beautiful broadway musical's you all rave on about, and I have sadly missed, ... I know it's so much more personal than that and I don't want to take anything away from just how wonderful this is, but oh hey, that's about the best love song I've ever heard... and a friend's love just can never be replaced...

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us... you're a real treasure Andie and Bruce is indeed one very, very lucky dawg - I reckon the beam his heart feels with this can light up the darkness night.

GORGEOUS I tell you, every single bit, the harmonious ahhhhh's just ohhhhh ... I'll stop now. But I hope you don't mind if I come back now and then and listen again :D

darkness, ohhhhh grrr darkest!!!! ;-)

Awwwwwwww!!! you clever beautiful girl! And a very deserving dedication to a wonderful person.....Its hard to put into words how great this is....so I will just say....That was amazing! :)))
Merry Christmas! and all the very best for 2008!
