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 friend's
face.
For life is a swift and
terrible race,
They know I like them just
as well,
As in the days when I rang
their bell,
And they rang mine.
We were younger then, enthusiastic
And now we are busy, tired
people.
Tired of playing a foolish
game,
Tired of trying to make
a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will
call on Jackie"
"Just to show that I'm thinking
of her."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow
goes, And
distance between us grows
and grows.
Around the corner-yet miles
away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jackie died today."
And that's what we get and
deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished
friend.
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
family and friends, for
they have helped
make you the person that
you are today
and are what it's all about
anyway.
