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.
You went in the morning
We didn't say good-bye
The friends that you left here
Wonder why, wonder why
I wish I could see you
Just for a day
Tell you we missed you
And ask you to stay
Ask you to stay
To absent friends
This one's for you
This one's for you
To absent friends
This one's for you
This one's for you
You went without warning
We didn't even know
Just like the good ones
It was your turn to go
Your turn to go
To absent friends (to absent friends)
This one's for you (this one's for you)
This one's for you
To absent friends (to absent friends)
This one's for you (this one's for you)
This one's for you
When we're together
You stand by our side
We'll raise our glasses
And toast you tonight
Toast you tonight
You went in the morning
We didn't say good-bye
The friends that you left here
Wonder why, wonder why
I wish I could see you
Just for a day
Tell you we missed you
And ask you to stay
Ask you to stay
To absent friends (to absent friends)
This one's for you (this one's for you)
This one's for you
To absent friends (to absent friends)
This one's for you (this one's for you)
This one's for you
To absent friends (to absent friends)
This one's for you (this one's for you)
This one's for you
To absent friends (to absent friends)
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you
