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 knew it, a year is gone.

And I never see  my old friends 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 but 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.

Remember to always  say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to  express yourself.

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it might

be too late.

Seize the day. Never have regrets.
