Because She Was My Best Friend

Together we would laugh, together we would cry,

With each other, we'd never be shy.

We'd often fight, then sort it out,

And at each other, we would never shout.

It's because she was my best friend...

When I was with her, I was very crazy.

I would always dance like a silly daisy.

I didn't care what they thought of us,

Since all they could do was a fuss.

It's because she was my best friend...

I'd turn to her when my spirit needed a lift.

We would treasure our friendship; it was a gift.

She'd lift me when I felt down,

And put a smile on my face when I wore a frown.

It's because she was my best friend...

I saw her today with someone else.

It had been many years, so I was past tense.

She ignored me, and I wanted to cry.

If only she could just say goodbye...

It's because she was my best friend,

And I never thought it would come to an end...
