MY BEST FRIEND. Everyone who has lost someone special in this life, someone close to their heart, someone they called their "best friend", will relate to this song. Though very sad, it is also a song of faith, hope, and love. Those left behind must somehow carry on. They must pass through the shadows and valleys of life with the Good Shepherd (Psalm 23: 4), where the love for their best friend lives on forever and ever.

Lyrics

REFRAIN
My best friend is gone,
Leaving me alone to carry on
Through all the longing ever haunting my soul,
While the heart never wants to let go.
VERSE 1:
When our memories mostly make the days,
And our dreams only dwell on yesterdays;
While the tears that fall like rain
No longer wash away the pain,
Then our world comes to an end,
As we lose our best friend.
VERSE 2:
Somehow heaven slowly fills the sky
And our love in the silence leaves our side.
In the glow from on high,
The final "love you" is our goodbye,
Then the light that's glory bound
Takes our friend without a sound.
VERSE 3:
Lost in longing and in loneliness,
While our world stops turning in the sadness.
There's a mountain to climb
Through all the shadows and valleys of time;
Where our faith flows like a river,
Our love lives on forever.
