on Ever-loving Father
I'm in serch of ONE LINE from the song EVERLOVING FATHER (my favorite on what I think was Walter's last project,) It starts like: Everloving father, everloving friend - Who else could love me, who else would understand? All of my imperfections - ( THIS IS THE LINE i'M IN SEARCH OF).
