Crimson Spots On Our Fingertips

With crimson spots on our fingertips Blood started by a sharp pin prick We mixed our blood in the tree house out back And solemnly sealed our best friends pact Two small boys at the young age of ten Making a pledge we would honor time and time again A bond that would hold for over sixty years Helping each other through the turmoil and tears When you broke your arm, I carried your schoolbooks You took the blame for the piece of candy I took We stood up together against the bully at school I helped you learn to swim in the neighborhood pool I practiced your lines for the high school play part You helped me cope with my first broken heart You didn’t live in the Honor’s House so we could be roommates We always fixed each other up so we could double date We were each other’s best men on our wedding days And Godfathers for the children that came our way You helped me through some financial times that were tough I provided moral support when your divorce got rough You sat up with me all night when my wife passed away I helped you come to terms with your diagnosis that day I watched you pass peacefully into the cold, dark night And I know I will join you later when the time is right With crimson spots on our fingertips Blood started by a sharp pin prick We mixed our blood in the tree house out back And solemnly sealed our best friends pact
