Here's a song for a friend soon gone A friend whose life and mine became Entwined Leaving soon for a lifetime Leaving part of you behind... Four years gone from a little room Where fears and secrets battled hopes And dreams We spoke of love and life and table Wine And the way sometimes things aren't Just what they seem... Here's a song for you friend Cause I never was too much at goodbye So we'll raise our glasses high As a tear comes to my eye And here's hoping that we'll meet bye And bye... Sometimes we'd stop and wonder Just where we were going now Holding hands out to each other Hoping for the best somehow... Here's a song for a friend soon gone A friend whose life and mine became Entwined Leaving soon for a lifetime Leaving part of you behind... Here's a song for you friend Cause I never was too much at goodbye So we'll raise our glasses high As a tear comes to my eye And here's hoping that we'll meet bye And bye... And here's hoping that we'll meet bye And bye...
SONG FOR A FRIEND SOON GONE...Written as a goodbye to my college comrades, two of whom have since died... With much love and affection for Wilton, Steve, Bruce and Ben...
