You see, she was gonna be an actress

You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
I took off for the sky
And here, she's acting happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm flying in my taxi
Taking tips, and getting stoned
I go flying so high, when I'm stoned

He did a concert at our college. I was part of the organization that arranged it, and after the concert, I and another student who worked on it, got to drive him back to the airport (a forty-minute drive). At the airport, we hung with him for a little over twenty minutes before he got ready to board his flight. That hour-plus was one of the most enjoyable times I've ever spent! Harry was incredibly down-to-earth, and also incredibly funny to be around! He had jokes and stories like you could not believe!

I truly miss his music, his humor, and his warm caring spirit.
