Best of Friends

Best of Friends - Dangerous Toys

Picked up the paper this morning

Could not believe what I saw

Friend of mine was killed

Running from the law

I could still see the face of my old friend

In the picture that stared back at me

And through the tears I went back through

The years to remember the times that we were

Playing pirates in the school yard singing

Soldiers in the fields we were dreaming

Brothers in blood till the very end

We were best of friends best of friends

Always hang together forever

I thought we'd always be that way

But in time you grow up and you slip away

It was thirteen years since I'd seen him

This man that I no longer knew

His mother

God bless her

Asked me if I'd say a word or two

Looking out in a room full of strangers

I didn't know quite what to say

All I could tell was of two old friends

And some long gone summer days of

Playing pirates in the school yard singing

Soldiers in the fields we were dreaming

Brothers in blood till the very end

We were best of friends best of friends

Always hang together forever

I thought we'd always be that way

But in time you grow up and you slip away

Friends like him don't come very often

You never treasure them while there's time

And if they slip away you gotta somehow say

You're still on my mind

So your memory's all I have left now

These words are all I can give

And from time to time I'll turn back in my mind

To the place where you'll always live

Playing pirates in the school yard singing

Soldiers in the fields we were dreaming

Brothers in blood till the very end

We were best of friends best of friends

Best of friends best of friends

Always hang together forever

I thought we'd always be that way

'Cause we were best of friends best of friends

Yes we were best best of friends

Best of friends yes we were best of friends

But in time you grow up and you slip away slip away
