Time passes, the world changes

But I m still the same ole kid

And your jokes still bring me laughter

As if you still were here

And it hurts

When I smile

Cause my heart still remembers

When you were around

Cause you were there

When no one was

Just when I thought nobody cared

You showed me love

Cause you were my friend

You always told me

And I am still here

Because you were there

So precious, small treasures

A time when truth was innocent

True friendship, was all we were after

A place where kids could still be kids

And it hurts

But I m glad

Cause at least I was blessed

To have you as my friend

Cause you were there

When no one was

Just when I thought nobody cared

You showed me love

Cause you were my friend

You always told me

And I am still here

Because you were there

You re my best friend

There are no accidents

God has a plan for everyone

And he brought you in my life

To show me what a good friendship was

Cause you were there

When no one was

Just when I thought nobody cared

You showed me love

Cause you were my friend

You always told me

And I am still here

Because you were there~~~~~~~~~~
