What is a friend?

I once had a friend And anything to me she'd lend We also used to share We had a favourite book called the boy and his bear She was my first friend I made on my first day at school She made me feel included And introduced to me to her friends too Every chance possible We’d be at each other houses And at my 6th birthday party we wore the same trousers And blouses. We were both bridesmaids at my mum’s wedding And at nights when she stayed at mine We would try and make a den out of our bedding. We made up silly songs Silly dances too But now I can’t remember them I simply don’t have a clue But now it's time to say goodbye, goodbye Just my memories and I There's no more pretend She's gone that's the end My dear friend My dear friend She’s out of my life for good I reget it so Our friendship was both great and good And I will never let our memories go I will miss her ever so much Since she left me without keeping in touch But i will always think of her Our friendship and the way we once were
