Around The Corner
author unknown

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face
For life is a swift and terrible race
She knows I like just as well
As in the days when I rang her bell.

And she rang mine.

We were younger then
And now we are busy, tired women
Tired of playing a foolish game
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jane"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of her."

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes
And distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner-yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram, mamm-"
"Jane died today!"
And that's what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corners, a vanished friend.
