Packing up the dreams God's planted,
In the fertile soil of you.
Cant believe the hopes he's granted,
Means a chapter of your life is through.
But we'll keep you close as always.
It won't even seem you've gone.
Because our hearts, as big as always,
Will keep the love that keeps us strong.
And friends are friends forever,
If the Lord's the Lord of them.
And a friend will not say never, Cause the welcome will not end.
Though its hard to let you go,
In the father's hands we know,
that a lifetime's not too long
to live as friends.
This song brings back so many memories for me and i think it is so true.
