Love This...

I was driving the other day and heard this song. It was by Matt Cannon (I think that's what they said). I've never heard the name before but love the lyrics and the idea behind them. We never know when something small that we say or do will make a HUGE impact on someone else. It might be as simple as calling to say 'hello'.

So Glad You Called

Today was gonna be the day
He´d already wrote the note
And parked that Chevrolet
At the end of that dead end road
Had his finger on the trigger
Just about to end everything
He was taking one last long breathe
When he heard his cell phone ring

And his best friend says man where've you been?
We´re headed down to the lake this weekend
You better not miss it ´cause buddy I swear
It won´t be the same if you ain't there
And i told that girl that you like so much
You were coming along and her eyes lit up
I better let you go man i really hope i didnt catch you in the middle of anything
He said you kinda did but i don´t mind at all
I´m so glad you called

In another town down the road
In the backseat of a car
Two 18 year olds had let a kiss go to far
He said how are we gonna have this child
When were both headed off to school?
He convinced her late one night there´s only one thing to do
She was scared to death in that waiting room
When the nurse asked how far along are you
She said 5 weeks and just about then her phone lit up
And his call came in
Saying baby i was wrong about everything
I´ve already bought you a diamond ring we´re gonna start a life
Would you be my wife
Boy or girl; pink or blue; yeah either way
All she could say as she felt those tear drops fall was
I´m so glad you called

If someone you know is weighing on your mind
And needs a friend on the other end of the line
Don´t hesitate what you say may seem so small
But who knows
They might be glad you called

So make the call

Yeah make that call
