You helped me laugh You dried my tears Because of you I have no fears Together we live Together we grow Teaching each other What we must know You came into my life And I was blessed I loved you friend You are the best Release my hand And say goodbye Please my friend Don't you cry I promise you this It's not the end Cause like I said You're my friend.
