Sweet Friend of Mine
You came out of the black night
And into my life
You were sore
You were hungry and tired
A runaway from strife
And you brought a new light
Into every day
You are one of the family
That much I can say
You were always yourself
Humble and meek
And I found it in you
The love we all seek
You were always forgiving
And generous too
Through your love and affection
You revealed the real you
But now you are going
You're almost gone
To your long peaceful rest
So I wrote you this song
In the afternoon storms of the Spring
I will miss you
Your gentle caress in the evening
I will miss too
You weren't even here
For a full year
But I will miss you for a lifetime
Oh sweet friend of mine
You'll be on my mind
'Til this mortal coil unwinds
But now you are going
You're almost gone
To your long peaceful rest
It won't be long
In the afternoon storms of the Spring
I will miss you
Your gentle caress in the evening
I will miss too
In the afternoon storms of the Spring
I will miss you
Your gentle caress in the evening
I will miss too
I will miss too
Oh sweet friend of mine
Oh sweet friend of mine
