My Dear Friend Robert

So many many memories From a time so long ago But it never seems to get easier And I really wanted you to know We did everything together My best friend was right next door Always in some kind of trouble Never knowing what's in store Playing horses on the walls outside Collecting wood for Halloween You really were a great best friend The best you could have been From dangling from the school gate Getting kicked by Ritchie's horse For all my childhood memories It was you who was the source Life threw so many spanners Of those we had our share The pain that came with losing you I never can compare Time is a great healer At least that's what they say But sadness comes with memories On days just like today Sometimes we lose the ones we love No one knows the reasons why I'll always have a tear for you Every single time I cry  Your face your voice and humour Has never gone away I hope you know I miss you rob And in my heart you'll stay For my dear friend Robert Hanley but I miss every day
