From the recording Real
An old friend recently died of cancer, this was my tribute to him.
Lyrics
FRIENDS By Jane Eamon 2008
With every mistake
I surely have made
There’s a good friend who stood by my side
Helped me get through
Knew just what to do
Had a shoulder when I needed to cry
In good times and bad times
Whatever the sting
They all brought me comfort
And joy when I sing
So let’s raise a glass
To old friends who’ve passed
And the new ones I’ve made here tonight
Friends are like gold
More precious to hold
They’ll help you no matter the cost
There’s no friend more dear
Than one standing near
Or the memories of those you have lost
As we get older, we think in the past
Hold to your friendships
Make everyone last
So let’s raise a glass
To old friends who’ve passed
And the new ones we’ve made here tonight
Turn to your neighbour
Say how do you do
Turn to your children
Say I love you
So let’s raise a glass
To old friends who’ve passed
And the new ones we’ve made here tonight
