Postcard
To all our best friends in the world...
Postcard

We've been best friends all our lives,
So many experiences from joy to crying;
And I guess when all is said and done,
You've been my person, always,
You've been my number one...
So now that you're leaving,
I'll hold your hand in mine;
I promise you no crying,
Until you've left this land...
Just do me one more favour,
Before you go to sleep...
Remember our pact re postcards,
From wherever your soul does speak...
Chorus
And when you get to heaven,
Don't forget to send me a postcard;
I want to know where to find you, my friend,
When the time comes...
And if we should be separated
By time and space,
I know that we'll find one another again,
By God's good grace...
(End Chorus)
I'd always hoped that I'd
Be the first to go,
'Cos life on earth without you
Is unlikely to be a great show...
But now that you're leaving,
I'll try to understand,
That fate has its own agenda
And things aren't always as we'd planned...
Chorus
Just do me one more favour,
Before you go to sleep...
Remember our pact re postcards,
From wherever your soul does speak...
Yeah, just do me that one last favour,
It's all I'm asking now -
And I'll bide my time without you,
And love you all the while...
