Life is a book that we study
Some of it's leaves bring a sigh
There it was written, my buddy
That we must part, you and I (you and I)
Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day, my buddy, my buddy
Nobody quite so true as you
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand, my buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you, I do
I know with each dawn
That life must go on
My buddy, oh, why have you gone
Some of it's leaves bring a sigh
There it was written, my buddy
That we must part, you and I (you and I)
Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day, my buddy, my buddy
Nobody quite so true as you
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand, my buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you, I do
I know with each dawn
That life must go on
My buddy, oh, why have you gone
