I lost a friend today
I broke down cryin’ as my mother read me his name
And though I’ve cried out my eyes until they were dry,
All I can find to say is…
I lost a friend today.

He was the kind I’d have liked to spend my whole day with
But now he’s the one that I’m gonna forever miss
He was always on my mind
He was one of a kind
But now all that has gone away cuz…
I lost a friend today

(Chorus)
I guess it’s true, only the good die young
But when they do, they leave behind all the sad songs to be sung
I wrote my own to let you know exactly how I feel
I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to
But I owe it to you, it’s the least I could do
Your memory will never fade
I lost a friend today

That night we spent sittin’ up,
Talkin’ for hours on end
And now that you’re gone, it’s just so hard to comprehend
You meant so much to me, but now you’re free
I loved you more than words could say and…
I lost a friend today

It may seem selfish of me, but I wish it was someone else
Cuz I don’t think it’s right to have to put on this black dress


You were 15 years old, so much to have and to hold
I wish I could hold you always, but…
I lost a friend today

(Chorus)
I guess it’s true, only the good die young
But when they do, they leave behind all the sad songs to be sung
I wrote my own to let you know exactly how I feel
I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to
But I owe it to you, it’s the least I could do
Your memory will never fade
I lost a friend today

(Bridge)
I know you’re gone
I know I can’t bring you back
But inside my heart, I’m comin’ apart
You deserved a better chance
I’m sorry everyday; I wish you’d have stayed
But He needed you for something more
I hope that you rest in peace and when you look down on me
Feel my love in every way
I lost a friend today

(Chorus)
I guess it’s true only the good die young
But for you, I wish God had made just one exception
I know you’re gone, but in my soul
You’ll be with me always
Until I see you, until I see you
You’re forever in my until the end from the start
My love for you will never change and…
I lost a friend today
