Around the corner I have a
friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and
weeks rush on,
And before I know it,
a year is gone.
And I never see my
old friends face,
For life is a swift and
terrible race,
He knows
I like him just as well,
As in the days when
I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were
younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say!
"I will call on Jim
Just to show that
I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and
tomorrow goes,
And distance between us
grows and grows.
Around the corner,
yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir,"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and
deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished
friend.
Remember to always say what
you mean.
If you
love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express
yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what
they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it
is the right time it might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have
regrets.
And most importantly, stay close
to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you
are today.
SMILE, even through
your tears!!!!!
