[Verse]

Life is a book that we study

Some of its leaves bring a sigh

There it was written my Buddy

That we must part you and I

[Refrain]

Nights are long since you went away

I think about you all thru the day

My Buddy, my Buddy

No Buddy quite so true

Miss your voice the touch of your hand

Just long to know that you understand

My Buddy, my Buddy

Your Buddy misses you

[Verse]

Buddies thru all of the gay days

Buddies when something went wrong

I wait alone thru the gray days

Missing your smile and your song
