SONG FOR ABSENT FRIENDS I still see your face when I close my eyes It's hard to believe that your gone my friend I still call you up and I think you're there It's not your voice on the other end And I know that you're out there somewhere On a leave of absence from this place And I still set a place for you A place right next to me And your glass will always be full Oh Lord - I wish I knew the reason Oh Lord - How 'bout some words of wisdom Oh Lord - This ain't no testimony Oh Lord - It's just a song for absent friends And I still remember all the faces of the friends who had to go All the times we shared, the tears we cried All the fights we had, I wouldn't change a thing oh no And it brings a smile to my face when I remember And I know that you all are out there On a leave of absence from this place And I still have a place for you all A place surrounding me And your glasses will always be full Oh Lord - I wish I knew the reason Oh Lord - How 'bout some words of wisdom Oh Lord - This ain't no testimony Oh Lord - It's just a song for absent friends Oh Lord - It's just a song for absent friends Oh Lord - It's just a song for absent friends ~The Four Horsemen Miss you, your "Brother" in Arms. |
