To My Dear Friend

Hey, when it is time to go call me, or I will call you

I would like to share a drink for either of us to know

We can't leave unless we have that one tinkle of a glass

And we will play 'It's a wonderful world' in the background

If I am the one leaving, sing it for me

If you are, I will sing along for you

But we should get the other a cup of Earl Grey, a marmalade sandwich

Then maybe sit and hold each other's hand

Hey, when it is time to go, call me or I will call you

We can sit together side by side

Watch the sun go down once again

Chase the dark away with a solitary light 

If I am the one leaving, brew me a coffee

If you are, I will lace it with liquor

But we should share a last smoke, laugh over mangled songs and memes

Then maybe hold each other in a tight embrace

Hey, when it is time to go, call me or I will call you

We should call for some butter garlic prawns

For either of us to know

We can't leave unless we share one last meal

If I am the one leaving, hold me to calm my fears 

If you are, I will cuddle to soothe your pain

But we should remember that we had the time of our life

then maybe, sit quietly, staring into the beyond
