You don’t miss what you have until it’s gone
The stealing dawn, the setting sun
Each day that passes I miss you more
Since you turned your back and closed the door.
The smile on your face, the kindly word
Best sound of laughter never heard.
I never knew you, not like that
But now you’re gone I want you back.
You made me laugh, you made me cry
You never stopped to ask me why.
Some friends come and some friends go
But always in my heart I’ll know
That I love you for who you are
Not the pretence and definitely not the star
From now until the end
A stranger and my friend.
