Topic: for a friend

As I sit here all alone
I think about the past
about our future and the plans we made , growin up
shouldve known they couldnt ever last
its been too many years
since youre gone
and I still find it hard to believe
my best friend only 21
had your whole life to live so why'd you have to leave

I can picture you smile
and still hear you laugh
etched and recorded in the back of my head
I believe I will see you again
What do you do when all your dreams have been shred?

you were the brother that I never had
we were just like family
with this song I am saying good bye
I'll have to live off of my memories
Until I can see you again

As I sit here all alone
I think about the past
about our future and the plans we made growing up
now I know they will always last

Re: for a friend

Very sad theme.
I too had a good friend who passed away when he was just 17.


I like the two lines about believing you will see him again, hopefully one day you will be reunited.

Thanks for a good ( although ) heart wrenching poem.

Re: for a friend

Very good lyrics. I think we can all see ourselves here at one time or other.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: for a friend

Hi Tommy, very nice, a little sad but with a positive note for the future.

I notice you mention "song" in there, will we see (or hear) a tune for this?

Moving lyrics. Well done!

Be more less concerned with your outward appearance and more concerned about your character, for that is what defines you. www,thoughtfortheweekend.com
