Rex, Jay and Robert
I heard my name
Called loud and strong
A voice filled with joy
Happy to see me
A man who called me friend
From the things we’ve done
Walking now I think back
How very many years have pasted
From that bright warm day
Memories now are all I have
He has long since pasted away
Another man I once knew
And many things we did
Before the world we raised our voice
And sang many a day
We traveled far and near
To many a different stage
Oh the joy that we had
I think of him too
A star once sang upon the stage
And all the world knew he
And I in the choir sang
And yet he liked me too
He also called me friend
And I wondered why
Why those men and many more
Chose to call me friend
But now their voices have been stilled
No more they call my name
In silences memory that all lay
Voices just in memories now
All else has faded away
