A friendship blooms
Times are great
But the years
Tear it away.

Years roll by
And still no word
I think of you
But you're lost.

Left with a memory
And even that's slipping
Will I ever see you
Or hear from you again?

Then one day
A message comes through
You never forgot
The good times we had.

Things have changed
But some remain
I'm stuck here
And you there.

An offer is placed
And will forever stand
Come back, my friend
I miss you so.

Once again
We lose touch
And I long to hear
You call my name.

A year passes
And I give up hope
I've thought of you
Throughout the year.

Once more
I hear word
You're still alive
My heart rejoices!

Please, my friend
Do not stray
From my life once again
I need you here.

My previous offer
Is still standing
Pack up and leave
To be with me.

Times are tough
And friends are few
But I'm still here
And I'm still true.
