The Time Of Parting

You will always be within my heart
Even when we drift apart
And though we'll go our separate ways
I'll remember all of our shared days

You're the dearest friend I ever had
You made me laugh when I was sad
You listened and you understood
You helped me out like no one could

The time of parting's now at hand
As the winds of change blow the sands of time
And I will never understand
Why the tears of departure so brightly shine

Maybe in that goodbye kiss
I'll realize it's you I'll miss
A gleam of hope may dimly shine
And we might meet again sometime
