EACH AND EVERY DAY (MY FRIEND):

© 1982, 1999 by Lydia Glider-Shelley
Verse 1:
I look at your cold face, and I know it must be peaceful:
But it’s such a disgrace, the way you had to die.
How I wish you could come back to me!
You know I’ll always miss your laugh…
I thought you were happy, now I’m left wondering why:
Chorus:
My friend, I needed you, and you threw your life away!
My friend, I loved you, you know each and every day!
My friend, you gave me the love that held me on:
And I woke up one morning, and my friend you were gone.
Verse 2:
The preacher’s still a’ talkin’ now, but it’s all just empty air.
I miss your silly, stupid shit, and the fights that were never fair! But I know those days are over now, you’re so, so far away… I know that this is just the start of many sad and lonely days!
(repeat chorus)
Verse 3:
My friend, I’m back at home again: and your presence here is great! I can feel you in the room with me, ‘though I know it’s much too late… I’ve got to sort through all of your things, so full of memories… And folks who don’t know what to say treat me like I have a disease!
(repeat chorus)
tag: Oh yes, I woke up one morning, and my friend you were gone
