I know you don’t believe in God You’re way too smart for that But wherever you lay now Please hear me now I have Accepted what has happened That we cannot travel back Please forgive me for my selfishness And the kindness that I lacked.
You were the one friend Not soon forgotten friend Taken for granted one.
The last time we spoke I wasn’t really listening to you I nodded and acknowledged you And in retrospect you knew.
My ears were drifting Away to others Chatting down the line But you played along and understood It was natural for my mind. Wise beyond your years You pretended you were blind Another time we’d talk And it would all be fine.
You were the one friend Not soon forgotten friend Taken for granted one.
Nothing churns me more inside To know that you are gone Hand picked to leave this beat-up world And leave behind us cons. If I could travel back to that old table in the sun I’d listen to your truths Watch your lips and teeth and tongue.
You were the one friend Not soon forgotten friend Taken for granted one.
You held such wisdom in your past In your future you knew more I’d kick the God that wrongly ripped Your music from life’s score.
You were the one friend Not soon forgotten friend Taken for granted one.
