To Our Old Friends -
“Always in our heart,
always on our mind”
My old friend, I recall the times
we had hanging on my wall.
I wouldn't trade them for gold
cause they laugh and they cry me,
and somehow sanctify me.
They're woven in the stories
I have told and tell
again.
|
My old friend, this song's for you,
cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
to tell the world that you were here, cause the love and the laughter,
will live on long after all of the sadness and the tears.
We'll meet again, my old friend.
(words
taken from song by Tim McGraw)
