From the recording Confessions & Alibis

Lyrics

I have a friend beyond comparison
He lifts me up
Chin up or down laughing falling to the ground
He picks me up
 
If time stood still I’d never get my fill of you
One more for the road wish I’d made that call
Long overdue
 
Being dads and work is crazed no adolescent escapades
Now measure up
Few on earth I like around a brother kindred soul I found
He builds me up
 
Growing old we’ll never be together writing comedy
The verses that we sang as boys without you I cannot enjoy
I wish you stayed a part of me forever not the past
Don’t fade into obscurity ‘cause memories
They just don’t last
 
Spoke a language few could hear in letters such sweet souvenirs
They break me up
Come to me in a dream joking like old times it seems
You set me up
 
We had a history a thirty year-long symphony
Now half the things I’ve said and done
Will disappear now that you are gone
Wish you stayed a part of me forever not the past
Don’t fade into obscurity ‘cause memories
They just don’t last
