**"Forever Young, My Friend"**

**"Forever Young, My Friend"**

(Verse 1)

We ran through fields of golden light,

Chasing dreams in the warmth of night.

Barefoot laughter, hearts so free,

You were always there with me.

(Pre-Chorus)

Skinned-up knees and whispered plans,

Building castles in the sand.

No worries, no fear, just endless time,

With your hand in mine.

(Chorus)

Oh, my childhood friend, where did the years go?

We were wild, we were young, we let the rivers flow.

Through every storm, through every climb,

You were the light, the spark in my sky.

(Verse 2)

From secret forts to swings so high,

Counting stars in the endless sky.

We made promises, hearts so true,

That no matter what, I"d stand by you.

(Pre-Chorus)

Through every tear, through every fall,

We never let go, we had it all.

Time moves fast, but love remains,

In my heart, you stay the same.

(Chorus)

Oh, my childhood friend, where did the years go?

We were wild, we were young, we let the rivers flow.

Through every storm, through every climb,

You were the light, the spark in my sky.

(Bridge)

Though miles apart, I still hear your name,

Echoes of laughter, never will fade.

No matter how far, no matter when,

In my heart, you"re here again.

(Outro)

So if you hear this song someday,

Know I miss you in every way.

My childhood friend, through thick and thin,

Forever young, you"ll always be within.
