My Best Friend

I'm standing here looking down 
hoping  to see you again, 
I want you to know that you are, my 
oldest dearest friend,

You've been with me through 
everything the hard times and the 
good, 
But I never treated you, as nicely as 
I should. 

I've woke up holding you as we laid 
together,
And when your looking up at me I 
always feel better. 

We've been through some sticky 
situations along the way,
In fact I can't remember the last 
time you didn't wanna play. 

We've worked and played more 
times then I can even think,
And been in odd places, after having 
ourselves a drink.

I think its time that I gave you 
another  beat. 
As you just lay limp, between my big 
belly and my feet.
