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
