There was this girl and there was this guy,
who met at school when they were playing outside.
Grade school can be a lot of fun,
especially when there's no work to be done.

At the time summers seemed so long,
without a care in the world nothing could go wrong.

(Chorus):
Oh my friend can you please stay strong for me.
Don't even blink or your best friend might slip away.

There was this girl and there was this guy,
who were going to high school where they needed to try.
But we all know friends are never the same
once they've played the dating game.

After awhile things were fine,
but it seemed at the moment that nobody had the time.

(Chorus)

Then one day she wasn't there,
she was at the hospital without any hair.
But things were going to be all right,
cuz she was strong and ready to fight.

but one can only be so strong,
and all the treatments started to go wrong.

(Chorus)

There's this guy, now he's alone,
It's really too bad he had to be shown
that life is short and goes by fast
so live each day as though it's your last.
