Friends Are Friends Forever

Packing up the dreams God planted In the fertile soil of you I can't believe the hopes He's granted Means a chapter in your life is through But we'll keep you close as always It won't even seem you've gone 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the lord of them And a friend will not say never 'Cause the welcome will not end Though it's hard to let you go In the Father's hands we know That a lifetime's not too long To live as friends With the faith and love God's given Springing from the hope we know We will pray the joy you live in Is the strength that now you show But we'll keep you close (really really close!) As alsways (promise?) It won't even seem you've gone (Do we really gotta go?) 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong (I'm feeling better already!) [2x:] And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the lord of them And friend will not say never 'Cause the welcome will not end Though it's hard to let you go In the Father's hands we know That a lifetime's not too long To live as friends Oh, a lifetime's not too long To live as friends (Speaking:) Bob: It's been great out here with you Larry, even though neither of us have showered for five days. I'm glad we're going home now. Larry: Yeah, I miss my mattress, and my boxspring.
