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,
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine.
If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!-yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
An afterthought.......
If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what
you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this
opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the
day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for
they have helped make you the person you are today and are what
it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends. Let
it make a difference in your day and theirs. The difference
between expressing love and having regrets which may stay
around forever.
