It's cool to see all my friends get older All that grey in their beards Laugh lines and crows feet creeping away from their faces Life's at noon and lunch is on the table Youth's slipping away, but dinner still seems a far distance and the bell has yet to be rung I see sunshine slipping in through open doors and a warm breeze envelopes us as we laugh and talk over a sandwich even though we're so far away from each other There will be dark clouds and storms to weather There will be tears and sadness in our hearts, but they will be fleeting and short lived as long as we stick together Pictures of kids and stories of our own youth keep us young Our memories of the good times are just waiting to be overwritten by better ones yet to come We're in the twilight of our lives, but there's a full moon in the sky When it's dark and cold don't be afraid! The sun will rise on us again to warm our hearts and ease our minds of the troubles of dark and stormy nights We will dine together one last time and we will cross life's last line under a star filled sky Smiling Laughing Loving Celebrating our friendship as we gracefully slip into the great unknown... together

Friendship
It's cool to see all my friends get older All that grey in their beards Laugh lines and crows feet creeping away from their faces Life's at noon and lunch is on the table Youth's slipping away, but dinner still seems a far distance and the bell has yet to be rung I see sunshine slipping in through open doors and a warm breeze envelopes us as we laugh and talk over a sandwich even though we're so far away from each other There will be dark clouds and storms to weather There will be tears and sadness in our hearts, but they will be fleeting and short lived as long as we stick together Pictures of kids and stories of our own youth keep us young Our memories of the good times are just waiting to be overwritten by better ones yet to come We're in the twilight of our lives, but there's a full moon in the sky When it's dark and cold don't be afraid! The sun will rise on us again to warm our hearts and ease our minds of the troubles of dark and stormy nights We will dine together one last time and we will cross life's last line under a star filled sky Smiling Laughing Loving Celebrating our friendship as we gracefully slip into the great unknown... together
