Song for a Friend Soon Gone
Stanley

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
