Good Friends

Don't forget when the day is done
Who's around when the morning comes
Who's always there to cheer you up
When you're down and out of luck
Good friends light a candle
Whenever they're around
And old friends keep it burning
They never let you down
Oh down

It's not always rain and shine
Not always clear sometimes
But to know when you turn around
There's someone who's reaching out

And when my day was darkest
You shone a light for me
And all through the good times
You shared it aM with me
We all count our blessings
When we go to sleep
And for what's been given
Has brought me to my knees

There is nothing greater
Than to reach a bend
And see an old familiar face
Holding out a hand
They never let you down

Why Do I Think Of You Today

This is not yesterday
And you are many miles away
And what we had is long since gone
Why do I think of you today
We no longer share the same
Spaces or good time friends
Our separate ways are here to stay
Why do I think of you today

And why after all these years
Does your memory burn so bright
You would think that after all these tears
There'd be a little left to catch the light
Then the restless years began
When you were no longer there
I glance across an empty room
Why do I think of you today
And so the story ends somehow
Two paths that cross and wind away
On a journey that we can't explain
Why do I think of you today

And why after all these years
Does your memory burn so bright
You would think that after all these tears
There'd be little left to catch the light
Now that you're gone
