Ed Sheeran wowed his close friend Courteney Cox after he played her a song he wrote inspired by the sitcom that made her famous.
Sharing a video to his Instagram page where he was hanging out in the kitchen with Courteney, Ed, 32, whips out his guitar as he gears up to serenade her with the track titled American Town. As he strums the strings ready to begin Ed turns to Courteney, 59, to explain what he is about to perform for her.
He says: "Courteney, I wrote a song inspired by Friends, the show you were on and I'm going to play it to you. It's called American Town." He then sings: "We're a long way from home, haven't seen you in so long / But it all came back in one moment.
Courteney was thrilled with the song (INSTAGRAM)
Ed let his creative juices flow (INSTAGRAM)"And the years started cold but I didn't notice at all and we found there's a room with both in / We ate Chinese food in small white boxes / Lived a life we saw in Friends / Your room it barely fits the mattress, wake up late for work again. The wind it seems to blow right through us / Down jackets are the trend / The rush of rushing deep into love.
"English girl in an American town, elevator to the fifth floor out, ringing the buzzer then l be right down, I wish time would freeze. Dungarees over the hoodie we're out, three feet off the ground / Lost in love and we don't wanna be found, it's just you and me / English girl in an American town."
