My Friends
by Michael Lyon
My friends arrived; they’ve come to town. This horse just won the Triple Crown
Make no secret who to thank. Take your winnings to the bank
My friends came by; they brought balloons. Can’t wait to sing our favorite tunes
You, the highs; I, the lows. We might just hit it on the nose!
Thanks my friends, love you all, patient tree grow straight and tall
My friends are kind, full of fun – you’d think I’d hit a hole in one
They’re always jumping up and down – cheer you up, play the clown
What makes two people friend or foe? I tell you, I’d sure like to know
No dice living in the past, to find the future’s come too fast
Thanks my friends, sound the call…
My friends arrived. They’ve come to call. That’s them grinning, one and all
Pleasant dreams to each of you, peace of mind, long overdue
Would-be actors crash the show, flub their lines -- whoosh, off they go
Then again there’re those like you. We’re granted each a precious few
Thanks my friends, love you all, no good deed can be too small
