Lyrics
For My Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One of us has to say he's sorry
Or we will never be friends again
Lets have a drink and talk it over
I want to keep you for my friend
We're here today and gone tomorrow
None of us knows when life will end
I've said some things that caused you sorrow
But I want to keep you for my friend
(Repeat)
