Karaoké Friends Michael W. Smith

Packing up the dreams

God planted in the fertile soil of you

I can't believe the hopes he's granted mean a chapter in your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always

It won't even seem you've gone

'Cos our hearts in big and small ways

We 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 'cos the welcome will not end

Though it's hard to let you go in the Father's hands we know

That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

And with the faith and love

God's given

Springing from the hope we know

We will pray the joy you'll live in

Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always

It won't even seem you've gone

'Cos our hearts in big and small ways

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 'cos the welcome will not end

Though it's hard to let you go in the Father's hands we know

That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them

And a friend will not say never 'cos the welcome will not end

Though it's hard to let you go in the Father's hands we know

That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

To live as friends

Though it's hard to let you go in the Father's hands we know

That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

No a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
