FRIENDS~ COME AND SOMETIMES PART
BUT YOURS WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN MY HEART
FRIENDS~ MAY BE HERE TODAY
AND GONE THE NEXT
FRIENDS~ MEAN FRIENDSHIP WITH YEARS OF HAPPINESS
AND SOME THAT ARE SAD
FRIENDS~ WHO LAUGH AND CRY TOGETHER
COME TOGETHER HERE EVER AFTER
FRIENDS~ SHARE EACH OTHERS LOVE AND SADNESS
AND TENDS TO THE OTHER WHO FELT SUCH SORROW
IT TAKES LOTS OF LOVE TO MAKE SUCH A FRIEND
AND YEARS OF DREAMS THAT LAST
FRIENDS~ CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE COME ALIVE
AND LET THE LIGHTS THROUGH
OUR HEARTS AND SOULS WITH SUCH DELIGHT
FRIENDS~ SHARES FEELINGS OF LOVE THROUGH OUR CHILDREN
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A CHILD
THAT BROUGHT SUCH SORROW
FRIENDS~ FILLS EACH OTHERS HEARTS
WITH CHILDHOOD PAST AND FUTURE DREAMS
FRIENDS~ SHARES EACH OTHERS STORIES
OF GROWING TOGETHER
YOUNG AND OLD, THEN AND NOW
SO YOU SEE MY FRIEND
THAT KNOCK ON MY DOOR
30 YEARS AGO WAS FATE
A LADY STANDING THERE
HER HAIR IN A ROLL
A SWEET FACE
WITH A SOFT GLOW
AND A VOICE SO SOFT AND LOW
A BOY AT HER SIDE
AND ONE ON THE WAY
YOU SEE...
GOD SENT YOU TO ME THAT DAY
MY FRIEND OF 30 YEARS
AND MANY MORE TO COME
I KNEW WE WOULD BE...
THE BEST OF FRIENDS
FROM THEN TILL NOW
TELL OUR DEATH DOES COME
