If I closed my eye-eyes

It did't hurt quite so ba-a-ad

'Cause tonight I just lo-o-ost

The best friend I ever ha-a-ad

You were a maveri-ick

Runnin' all away from New Orlea-eans

We'd tell stories 'round the campfire

Late at night when it was down

To just you and me-ee-ee



Good friend

Why did you have to go?

Just when I was gettin' to know you

I'll sing this song to show

You were a goo-ood friend

They don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory you'll always be

A good good frie-iend to me



You said I got a home, boy-oy

Haven't seen it for so lo-o-ong

Said I'm goin' home, boy-oy

My work is done

I can feel it in my bo-o-ones



Good friend

Why did you have to go?

Just when I was gettin' to know you

I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend

They don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory you'll always be

A good good frie-iend to me



Good-good friend

Why did you have to go?

Just when I was gettin' to know you

I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend

They don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory you'll always be

A goo-ood friend to me

And in my memory you'll always be

A good good frie-iend - to me...
