Sting, with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis -"My Funny Friend and Me"

...

Loved this tune , from the "Emperor's New Groove" Soundtrack-- the song was nominated for Oscar that year....Produced and arranged by Jam and Lewis for Flyte Tyme productions...

I like the way the youtube fan utilized the Calvin and Hobbes strip for the video...

In the quiet time of evening,
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made its journey,
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew, before the world changed,
When not a thing I held was true,
But you were kind to me, and you reminded me
That the world is not my playground,
There are other things that mattered
And what is simple needs protecting
My illusions all were shattered,
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I knew was upside down
And now the world and me, I know you carried me

You see the patterns in the big sky,
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky,
We could be lost, we could refuse to try,
But we made it through, in the dark night
Who would those lucky guys turn out to be,
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me

I'm not as clever as I thought I was,
I'm not the boy I used to be, because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure,
I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure
But you stayed, and you called my name,
When others would have walked out on the lousy game
Who could've made it through
But your funny friend and me

You see the patterns in the big sky,
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet and the bigger guy,
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky,
We'll be together till the end is nigh
Don't know the answer or the reason why,
We'll stick together till the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time,
I won't complain or make a fuss
Who would the angels send,
but that unlikely blend,
of those two funny friends,
That's us
