My closest friend
For a time you walked this earth
You called me by name
And into light you gave me birth
There's no turning back
No turning back

You are the truth
Now my life can be no lie
With you by my side
But now you tell me you must die
Oh I don't want that
No I don't want that

(Chorus)
So tell me why must you now go
Oh it wasn't very long
You came into my life
I say you are the son of God
But your also my best friend
Will I see you again?
(repeat last line)

And then you are gone
How could I have been so blind
The reason that you came
Was to save me for all time
But I didn't see that
Oh I didn't see that

My dear friend
For you time you lived with us
A servant of God
And a friend in whom I trust
Oh I'm sure of that
Yeah I'm sure of that

That's why it's hard
They say that all things come to pass
It's true some things die
But the better of these last
But it's hard to see that
Oh it's hard to see that

(Chorus)
So tell me why must you now go
Oh it wasn't very long
You came into our lives
I say you are a child of God
But you're also a good friend
Will I see you again
(repeat last line)
