Best Friend

La, la, la, la, la An old man on his death bed whispered to me You are the master of your destiny A diamond is a diamond, a stone, a stone But a man's not all good nor all bad Call them as you see them You'll stand alone You're the best friend that you ever had, ohh, yeah You're the best friend that you ever had So, laugh when it's time to laugh Cry when it's time to cry Live while it's time to live You'll die when it's time to die La, la, la, la, la, la Then he closed his eyes and left me alone My old friend's death brought his wisdom home A diamond is a diamond, a stone, a stone But a man's not all good nor all bad Call them as you see them You'll stand alone You're the best friend that you ever had, ohh, yeah You're the best friend that you ever had So, laugh when it's time to laugh Cry when it's time to cry Live while it's time to live You'll die when it's time to die La, la, la, la, la, la
