I Had a Friend

I had a friend
 A friend since we were kids
 And no matter what I did
 He would always have my back
 I had a friend
 But hidden in the dark
 Was an old and troubled heart
 That in time would fall apart
 Can we talk just one last time?
 Heaven can wait just another while
 But I know you've gotta go
 And you weren't just the only one
 Other families cried for their other sons
 But I know you gotta go
 Don't you say
 That it's alright
 'cause it's not right
 And oh there's nothing more that I can do for you
 So don't you say
 That it's alright
 'cause it's not right...
 Now I'm staring
 Down upon a grave
 Where the man I could not save
 Will nеver see the sky ahead
 Oh my brothеr
 You're half the world away
 But you're with me everyday
 (Oh you're with me everyday)
 Can we talk just one last time?
 Heaven can wait just another while
 But I know you've gotta go
 And you weren't just the only one
 Other families cried for their other sons
 But I know you've gotta go
 Don't you say
 That it's alright
 'cause it's not right
 And oh there's nothing more that I can do for you
 So don't you say
 That it's alright
 'cause it's not right...
 The stars were shining brightly and there was a full moon that night
