• 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
    knows
    I like him just as well,
    As
    in the days when I rang his bell.
    And
    he rang mine but we were younger then,
    And
    now we are busy, tired men.
    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
    distance between us grows and grows.
    Around
    the corner, yet miles away,
    'Here's
    a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today..'
    And
    that's what we get and deserve in the end
    Around
    the corner, a vanished friend.
    Remember
    to always say what you mean.
    If you
    love someone, tell them.
    Because
    when you decide that it is the right time it might
    be
    too late.
    Seize
    the day. Never have regrets.
    And
    most importantly, stay close to your friends
    and family, for they have helped
    make you the person that you are today.
