It was the very best of times When you were in my life Like endless days of summer Didn't know it wouldn't last That fate would intercede And tear down my defences How can I ever live without you Now you've gone away How can I ever hope to find you Even for one day Can't fight the feeling deep inside my heart You were my friend to the end Pray for the day when our souls meet again Always remember, never forget Pray for the time when we walked side by side You were my guiding light When I held you in my arms And laid you down to rest I buried you in sorrow Suffered many sleepless nights Nightmares seemed so real But you will sleep forever How can I ever live without you Now you've gone away How can I ever hope to find you Even for one day Can't fight the feeling deep inside my heart You were my friend to the end Pray for the day when our souls meet again Always remember, never forget Pray for the time when we walked side by side You were my guiding light That was many years ago I got on with my life Just how you would have wanted And I hope I made you proud In everything I've done Your shining light still guides me Pray for the day when our souls meet again Always remember, never forget Pray for the time when we walked side by side You were my guiding light Pray for the day when our souls meet again Never forget Pray for the time when we walked side by side You were my guiding light
