Maybe it's too early to post this -- it's too early to stop crying. But, somehow this song has been on my mind sing Mickey died. Surprise, folks, it's a Neil Diamond/Robbie Robertson song (I can't help it!) Hope it helps someone. Parts of it seem to me to have been written for Mickey.

Dry Your Eyes

Dry your eyes and take your song out,

it's a new-born afternoon.

And if you can't recall the singer

you can still recall the tune.

Dry your eyes and play it slowly

like you're marching off to war;

sing it like you know he'd want it,

like we sang it once before.

And from the center of the circle

to the midst of the waiting crowd,

if it ever be forgotten

sing it long and sing it loud

and come dry your eyes.

And he taught us more about giving

than we ever cared to know,

but we came to find the secret

and we never let it go.

And it was more than being holy

and it was less than being free,

And if you can't recall the reason

can you hear the people sing.

Right through the lightning and the thunder

to the dark side of the moon,

to that distant falling angel

that descended much to soon

Come dry your eyes
