So Long My Friend

If you too have experienced the loss of a loved one be it a mother/father, sister/brother, partner, wife/husband, friend, a pet—you know this pain.

—Omaira Falcon

• Lyrics

  When a friend is gone
  Leaves a void inside
  An empty well in spite of the rain

  When a friend is gone
  I hope time would stop
  So I can catch another glimpse
  Never lose sight of his face

  (chorus)
  So long my friend!
  May we meet again
  In another life
  In another land
  On the shores of love

  When a friend is gone
  All plans fall through
  The way a tree is beaten down
  By a passing storm

  When a friend is gone
  The light of a shooting star
  Gives birth to another friend in a distant land
  
  [chorus]

  When a friend is gone, I’m lost
  I am so lost without my friend
