It was a dark, rainswept windy night
When you helped me escape my plight

I knew you not, when we first talked
I only knew that you filled a vacant spot

Life had become very hard for me
You helped turn it around and fill it with some glee

I talked to you like you were a friend
That would be there for me til the bitter end

You chased away my darkest thoughts
And filled me with the feelings I sought

Your humour and intelligence
Seemed to me to be heaven sent

As time wore on and we became best buddies
My heart called out, things were becoming muddied

We would laugh we would talk we would confide
I thought we would never leave each others side

The wings of change were near at hand
Oh if I had known our friendship was held by a strand

I would have turned away that night
Found another haven to wage the fight

But deep down in my soul
Im glad it was you my secrets I told

If we had met at a different time and place
Likely now we would have enjoyed our fate

But life is not like that is it tho
We have to make sure we stay with the flo

As time goes on the pain will pass
We both know that the good things in life never last

My heart will always hold a place for you
No matter what you ever say or do

But alas I think I see clear as a bell
That our friendship has had its final death nell

As I grow old and feeble with age
I will remember the good times, forget my rage

And when I look at a snow capped mountain top
I will remember you and your thoughts

I will remember it how it used to be
When you looked down and smiled at me

I will remember the times when you brought me back
From a dark, threatening and dreary past

I will remember your love for small innocent things
And smile because you were such a fine human being

I will remember the times when you were down
Leaving me lost in confusion with a frown

I will remember how you made me see
That life could again be good for me

I will remember your caring ways
And rue the day that they had to fade

So remember this my friend of the night
That I tried, I never gave up without a fight

For some people things can never change
They cannot take what they believe and rearrange

Foundations made up of lies and rubble
Will come crashing down at the first sign of trouble

At a time when I needed honesty in my life
It became surrounded with lies and filled with strife

Sometimes this happens to the best of friends
And not even Gods will can put it back on the mend

Be sure that I leave you a piece of my heart
Be sure too that Im about to depart
