Around the corner

Arount the corner I have a friend

In this city which has no end

The days go by and weeks rush on

And before I know, a year has gone

I never see my old friend's face

For life now has a swift pace

He knows that I like him just as well

As in the days when I rang his bell

In times we were younger when

But now we are busy, tired men

Tired of playing a foolish game

Tired of trying to make a name

Tomorrow I say I ll call on him

Just to show that I am thinking of him

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes

And distance between us grows and grows

Around the corner yet miles away

Herez a Telegram; Sir, he died today

Thats what we get and deserve in the end

Around the corner, A vanished friend!
