I’d often thought,"how would it be"

When we would have to part;

To say goodbye to a special friend

That was special from the start.

We’d meet out on the ole golf course

They say "it’s just a game;"

The weather hot, the weather cold

We loved it just the same.

So many years have come and gone

And it’s time to say goodbye;

I didn’t know I cared so much

And I’m not ashame to cry.

For no one knows what a day may bring

That can change the course of time;

For every day is a special day

And tomorrow may never be mine.

I stood by his bed the other day

And he gently squeezed my hand;

We prayed together for that last time

And then he said, "Amen."
