Around the corner

Around the corner I have a friend

In this great city that has no end.

 

Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,

And before I know it, a year is gone

And I never see my old friend's face,

For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well,

As in the days when I rang his bell,

And he rang mine.

 

If, we were younger then,

And now we are busy, tired men..

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name..

 

"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"

"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And

distance between us grows and grows..

Around the corner!- yet miles away,

"Here's a telegram sir-"

"Jim died today."

 

And that's what we get and deserve in the end..

Around the corner, a vanished friend..

If you love someone, tell them..

Remember always to say what you mean..

Never be afraid to express yourself..

Take this opportunity to tell someone

what they mean to you..

 

Seize the day and have no regrets..

Most importantly, stay close to your

friends and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are today

and are what it's all about anyway..

 

Pass this along to your friends. Let

it make a difference in your day and

theirs.  The difference between

expressing love and having regrets

is that the regrets may stay around forever..

 

Life is a coin. 

You can spend it any way you wish,

but you can only spend it once.
