Will you stay with me, friend,
As I lay dying, in the end?
Will you remember me
And how life use to be:
The fun times that we had,
And the ways you made me glad;
The comfort given after tears,
And joy throughout the years;
The shows we saw together,
And the walks in stormy weather;
The books we shared and read,
And up lifting words we said?
Will you remember times,
I shared words that rhymed;
Or remember lovely hours
We spent walking through flowers;
How we shared our cherished dreams,
And discussed the way life seems?
When I cross to the other side,
I shall put away my pride,
And tell others what you are,
A best friend, by far.
