Around the corner I have a friend,
in this great city that has no end,
yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
and before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
for life is a swift and terrible race.
He know that I like him just as well,
as the days went I rang his bell,
And he rang mine but we where younger then,
tired of playing a foolish game,
tired of trying to make a name
"tomorrow" I say! " I will call on jim
just to show that I'm thinking of him"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes
and dinstance between us grows and grows
Around the corner, yet miles away.
"Here is a telegram sir", "jim died today"
And thats what we get and deserve in the end,
Around the corner a vanished friend.
