As I wander silently through that yard of graves
I think about our earlier days
We laughed and ran and climbed the trees
Tripped and fell and scraped our knees
We laughed, cried, and hugged each other
We might as well have been sister and brother
In summer we swam for hours each day
Autumn brang piles of leaves in which we played
We grew up together and sailed through years
Until your death brought all my tears
You never saw that huge semi truck
I guess at that moment we were out of luck
You tried hanging on but you left us all
And sometimes I wish that you'd still call
But I know now that you're safe in the sky
And these days I try not to cry
'Cause I know that someday I'll be up there with you
Until the end of time our friendship will be true.
