You're a friend of mine

The Big Man, Clarence Clemons, passed away yesterday. His song with Jackson Browne, You're a friend of mine, resonates with almost everyone who has a close friend.

Years may come and go
Here's one thing I know
All my life
You're a friend of mine
What if mountains fall?
Nothin' left at all
I'll be fine
'Cause you're a friend of mine
