So Far, My Friends

Some friends of mine...that are in my heart 
On Swedish soil...so far apart
The love we share...for one another 
I am proud to call...sister, brother
 
In many ways...we are both the same 
We wear the same faces...Just have a different name
So far away, my friends...forty-five hundred miles 
The distance doesn't matter...we still share our smiles
 
I thank the lord, Jesus...for my good friends 
I hope I see them again...when my life ends 
Some friends of mine...from distant lands 
So far away, my friends...I can touch their hands 

Some friends of mine...from a distant land 
So far away, my friends...I can touch their hand 
The love we share...ev'ry night and day 
Brother, sister...I am proud to say
 
Distance doesn't matter...we still share our smiles 
So far away, my friends...forty-five hundred miles 
We wear the same faces...just have a different name 
In many ways, my friends...we are both the same
 
From the Sweden sun...to the U.S. moon 
Friendships, so beautiful...like a sunny day in June 
When the roses bud...and the tulips kiss 
I think about my friends...brother, sis
 
So beautiful, my friends...like a sunny day in June 
From the U.S. sun...to the Sweden moon 
I think about my friends...brother, sis 
When the roses bud...and the tulips kiss 

*Dedicated to two very special friends in my life.
