Softly the melody starts to play
A gentle tune that ushers in this day
As we gather here memories unfold
Of times we've shared a story untold
In the hallways of our shared past
Footsteps echo memories that last
We laughed and talked through joy and pain
Our friendship grew like a flower in the rain
Now as the time has come to part
My heart is heavy filled with a certain art
The moments we've had they'll never fade
But now we must journey on different ways
Goodbye my friend though it's hard to say
Our friendship's light will never fade away
In every corner in every space
Our memories will grace this place
Goodbye my friend until we meet again
The bond we share will never end
The sun will rise and set each day
But our friendship's glow will never sway
We've walked these paths side by side
Through seasons changing with love to abide
Now as the crossroads lie ahead
Our hearts will carry what we've said
The laughter the tears the times so dear
Will be a treasure always near
Though miles may stretch between us now
Our spirits will forever endow
A connection strong that time can't sever
In the tapestry of life we'll always be together
The wind may blow the clouds may roll
But our friendship's flame will never grow cold
We've shared our dreams our hopes so high
And now as we part we'll hold them in our eye
Goodbye my friend with a heart full of grace
For all the times we've found our place
Our story's written in the book of time
A chapter of friendship that will always shine
Goodbye my friend though it's hard to say
Our friendship's light will never fade away
In every corner in every space
Our memories will grace this place
Goodbye my friend until we meet again
The bond we share will never end
The music fades as we wave goodbye
Our friendship's song will never die
In the silence it lingers on
A reminder of love that will always belong
