When You Lose A Friend

When You Lose a Friend

When you lose a friend

You can't deny or pretend

That no sacrifice occurred

The lights are never blurred

You don't forget a word

Memories never end

When you lose a friend

You left a mark on me

You sang in the major key

Walked your own line

May your boots always shine

Memories never end

When you lose a friend

You said "Son, follow my trail”

“I believe that my ship has set sail”

“Lord I'm headin' toward the sky

And it doesn't matter why”

Though your heart is off to sea

Here with us you'll always be

But when events unfold

Your spirit has to roll

Even if you’ve got a golden soul

Memories never end

When you lose a friend

Memories never end

When you lose a friend

When you lose a friend

When you lose a friend
