So Long My Friend

Another friend had to say good-bye 
God had to take him- I don't know why 
But now the angel sings 
"George has got his wings" 
There's no denying  

His heart of gold he shared with everyone 
If he had two hearts he would give you one 
Even when he knew 
That his time was due
And that he knew that he was dying 

So long my friend, your soul was good 
You've topped the charts of brotherhood 
You've had to know 
Before you'd go...
That you'd be flying 


In dedication to a dear friend I have recently lost taken by Covid-19  
George (Butch) Fink
