Best Friend

The wind is whispering in my ear
The clock is ticking can you hear
The clouds are rolling by
How could anybody die
Beneath this periwinkle sky
I was too young to know her then
She would have been my friend
My best friend
The sun is shining on my face
The world is such a pretty place
Bees and butterflies
How could anybody cry
Wish that I could have said goodbye
If I could see her again
She would be my friend
My best friend
All I have is photographs
Put on her wedding ring
Put in a tape of lullabies
The ones she used to sing to me
Don’t cry, baby
How could anybody die
Beneath this periwinkle sky
I was too young to know her then
She would have been my friend
My best friend
How could anybody cry
Wish that I could have said goodbye
If I could see her again
She would be my friend
My best friend
