My Friend Lyrics by Cy Coleman

1990

[QUEEN, spoken]
Come with me, Sonja
[SONJA, spoken]
I can't
I wish that I could
I can’t live in the real world, much as I want to
This goddamn stinking world is mine - I can get by in it
I know all the tricks
But my spirit's going with you, Queen, a piece of my soul
And if you get free a part of me is going to be free too
[QUEEN, sung]
Remember all the times
When times were bad
You were the only friend I ever really had
Don't make me say goodbye
No, no
Don’t make me start to cry
[SONJA, sung]
Now, don't you start to cry
[BOTH]
Just hold me in your arms
Come here and hold me in your arms
[QUEEN]
Don't make me say goodbye
[SONJA]
No second chance for me
[QUEEN]
I have to go
[SONJA]
I'm not like you
[QUEEN]
I understand
[SONJA]
This life's the only life
[QUEEN]
I'll miss you so
[SONJA]
I ever knew
[QUEEN}
I guess
[BOTH]
We have to say goodbye
There's no use to pretend
[SONJA]
But I will always know
[QUEEN]
I'll always know that
[BOTH]
You were my friend
[SONJA]
I will remember you
[QUEEN]
I will remember you
[SONJA]
I will remember you
[QUEEN]
I guess
[BOTH]
We have to say goodbye
There’s no use to pretend
[SONJA]
But I will always know
[QUEEN]
I’ll always know that
[BOTH]
You were my friend
