*verse 1*
First! Let me say thank you for being my best friend
You’ve been down since day one and you rode to the end
I know some day we gon’ see each other again
But until then, my friend, I’ll keep it going even knowing
No one can come close cause you’re still number one
It’s like competing with a ghost. It just can’t be done
So I’ll propose a toast to what’s past and what may come
You may not be here with me, but thank you for the memories
Eventually, I know we’ll be reunited up in heaven
And the time we spent together on earth was a blessing
Even the hard lessons had left lasting impressions
Cause every opposition only made Our bond strengthened
You stayed patient with me while i figured my life out
Never let one disrespect me or it was lights out
And I’m telling you right now what I should’ve told you back then
You made my life so much greater. Couldn’t ask for a better friend
*chorus* [repeat 8x]
Thank you for being my friend
*verse 2*
We were more than just friends. We were lovers and soul mates
You knew me better than the others. That’s why you were so great
Tryna to keep us apart was like holding a snowflake
It would just be for an instant but could never keep our distance
We’d start missing one another and FaceTime to say what’s ups
On the phone sometimes for hours. Neither one wants to hang up
And there’d be days I stray away, but never once did you give up
No matter how long i was gone away, you knew I’d be back some day
And I am not ashamed to say
You made me the man I am today
A father figure to your kids, we all still keep in touch
And we all wish we can tell you exactly just how much
That we’re sorry and we miss you. Wish we could spend more time with you
And If I knew God’d come getchu that I would’ve kiss you
Let you know much sooner how much I was in love witchu
Then goodbye wouldn’t be an issue. I know someday I will be witchu
*chorus* [repeat until the end]
Thank you for being my friend
