Friends are all around me Near, yet far away Friends are all around me The same as yesterday As pale moons in the distance Golden sun beams in the sky They are here come rain or shine And here’s the reason why The world changed in an instant Yet we are still the same Although my friends are distant They’re players in this game Memories of those other times Of lazy days; of sharing wine I think of all the hours we had Happy times outweigh the sad Now I know that friends will grow From the seeds of antecedence The weeds fade in the afterglow No more I’ll grant them credence Choked by love with wings they fly While far away in summer sky Friends are all around me .............
