Admin by Solid Walnut Music I don't understand why old friend And though I know it's time for you to go I don't want you to I still remember the day we met That big old smile of yours is hard to forget The things you'd say in that special way You know I'm gonna miss you And it must be that God has something special Up in heaven for you to do 'Cause I can't think of anyone Who'd make a better angel than you I've come to say gooodbye, old friend I said I wasn't gonna cry, old friend So I apologize for these tears in my eyes But I can't hold them in You see you've really mattered to me If not for you I'm not sure where I'd be You stood at my side when my life started to slide And helped me find meaning again I've learned so much from you, old friend About life and love and starting again About laughing and crying and reaching inside To let out the feelings we so often hide I've come to say goodbye, old friend I suppose I'll have to try, old friend to get on without you, I have no doubt you Would want me to But I'm kind of afraid of how I'll do You know you always used to help me through With you gone I'm not sure I can stay strong but I'll try just for you Merchandise | Catalog | Contact Us | Home Contact the webmaster at solidwalnut dot com |
