Here is the demo for the theme song, “MY FRIEND FOR LIFE.” Ziv, the music arranger, performer, mixing and mastering engineer as well as the singer did an amazing job. He took my melody and turned it into a wonderful sound recording. The female singer is Ariel Petrie. She sounds perfect for Ellen.
MY FRIEND FOR LIFE by Gail Kowatch
Verse 1
When people laughed at me
You always gave me strength
To stand up tall and be myself
I want to thank you
Verse 2
When I wished for a dream
You made me realize
That I can reach beyond the stars
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Chorus
You are my friend, my friend for life
Someone who loves me as I am
You shine your love, into my heart
And make me one with your bright light
Let’s be together now
Verse 3
When I was being a fool
You showed me how to be
By being kind, and loving me
I want to thank you
Verse 4
When I didn’t like myself
You taught me how to love
By showing me, I’m made of love
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Chorus
You are my friend, my friend for life
Someone who loves me as I am
You shine your love, into my heart
And make me one with your bright light
Let’s be together now
Bridge
The past is gone
The future isn’t here
All we have is now
There is no other time
Forgiveness heals all wounds
Leaving only love
Love is who we are
Love is all there is
Chorus
You are my friend, my friend for life
Someone who loves me as I am
You shine your love, into my heart
And make me one with your bright light
Let’s be together now
My best friend
My friend for life

Thank you so much Jane! Even though I wrote the melody and lyrics, I couldn’t have done it with Ziv, the arranger. He did a fantastic job. He also sang it and harmonized it himself. Thanks for all your support and love! Blessings and love to you! Gail

Hi Gail,
I just listened to the duet, and I love it. Both singers blended and complemented each other beautifully. One can’t listen to it without feeling appreciation for one’s, “friends for life.”
