We grow up together, side by side
Playing on swings, or going down slides
Brothers we were arm in arm
Building forts, walking the trail long

You dad got a better job in another state
You had to move, that sealed our fate
Friends no more we would be
Except by mail between you and me

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday

I never stopped calling you my friend
Even though our lives went separate ways
In my heart you're a friend till the end
Until my dying day

Goodbye my friend,  you're moving far away
Goodbye friend,  I will miss you everyday
