Farewell, Friends

It’s the saddest day of all,

Farewell oh, all my friends

We came along so far

Around life's curves and bends

We played as kids on streets

And grew up wise old men

Each one his share of pleasure

Each one his share of pain

We shared some great good laughs

And shed some tears together

And whether drunk or in death

Gave each other our shoulder

We had our share of fights

Didn't see each eye to eye

But every time, we came along

As time went by and by

Each moment spent together

Our bonds just grew stronger

We were all friends forever

We will be friends forever
