We're on a changing course.
But you have helped me deal with life;
You've been a stable force.
When I have had to follow;
New directions, you were there.
When the world was hard on me;
You always seemed to care.
When nothing held together;
Made the slightest bit of sense.
You have always helped restore;
My inner confidence.
Everyone needs someone;
Who's reliable and true.
Through the moments I've endured;
I'm grateful there was you."
"If I could catch a rainbow......
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone------
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea------
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me,
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always there."
"And so it comes just as it is, a day no longer here.
And through my trembling fingertips, the memories of the year...
I try not to wave farewell to all our dreams, I will forget you never,
I wonder if the crazy times will stay with you forever...
But as I cry in pain of losing you, my dear and such good friend,
I will not close the book and say ' farewell, this is the end'...
For goodbyes create swift hellos, and days from now you'll see,
That though it hurts to say goodbye, your friend I'll always be."
"Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away . . . and leaves behind only silence."
