Goodbye to you, my trusted friend

We′ve known each other since we're nine or ten

Together we′ve climbed hills and treesLearned of love and ABCs

Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Please pray for me

I was the black sheep of the family

You tried to teach me right from wrong

Too much wine and too much song

Wonder how I got along

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die

It's hard to die

It′s hard to die

We had joy, we had fun

We had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed

Were just seasons out of time

We had joy, we had fun

We had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed

Were just seasons out of time

It′s hard to die

Please pray for me
