Packing up the dreams
God planted
In the fertile soil of you

Can`t believe the
hopes he`s granted
Means a chapter in
your life is through

We`ll keep you close as always
It won`t even seem you`ve gone
Cause our hearts in
big and small ways

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 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
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
`Cause 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
`Cause 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
`Cause 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
No a lifetime`s not too long
To live as friends
