Music and Lyrics by Darrin James
I miss my old friends today
We lost touch when I moved away
I know the phones they work both ways
I miss my old friends today

I learned we lost an old dear friend
An rare bird, a precious gem
Now there’s no flowers or card that I can send
Why is it always the best of us
Who leave this emptiness in the rest of us?

Though many years have passed behind
Those days are so clear in my mind
Then we all went our separate ways
We had our own loves our own dreams to find

Those summer nights down at the pits
Bonfires, beer, pot, cigarettes
When everything was still ahead
We all believed the words we said

Why is it always the best of us
Leave these mysteries for the rest of us?

Yet I clearly see your face
Feel your smile, your warm embrace
I’ll never say it was a waste
I miss my old friends today
