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 friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
My friend knows I care just as well,
As in the days when I rang the bell,
And my friend rang mine.
We were younger then,
And now we are busy, our time is thin.
Tired from playing the foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say, "I will call on them-
"Just to show that I'm thinking of them."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"My friend died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell someone
what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your
friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today
and are what it's all about anyway.
Pass this along to your friends.
Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.
The difference between expressing love and having regrets
is that the regrets may stay around forever.
