Look Around

We were walking close together,
And I knew you had something to say,
But we stopped to admire a winter's day,
And I looked around and you were gone,
I looked around and you were gone.

We planned on being friends forever.
But life we knew, it wouldn't wait.
I know I didn't mean to make you late,
But I looked around and you were gone.
When I looked around you were gone.

Will you wait for me beside the door?
You know I'll always want to hear more
'Cause that's what friends are for.
So if you look around and I'm gone,
Look around again, I'm not far away.

We'll still be walking close together,
Friends now, friends forever,
You always know what I want to say.
For every night there is a dawn,
So if you look around and I'm gone,
Look around again, I'm not far away.

- For Edeyn from her friend, Joyce
