Lyrics

FINEST FRIEND
Music & Lyrics by Jay Jacobson

We go back a long long time
When we were both in our prime
I think of you sight unseen
And wonder if in the years between
You think of me with joy

So many memories of us two
Laughing hard as we would do
You kept me sane when times were hard
Through awkward years I emerged unmarred
You were my finest friend

CHORUS:You know me
In ways no one else can
Our time is but a memory
When I was young
And life was an adventure
It makes my heart smile
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh....

Summers sitting by the pool
Or eating ice cream after school
Lightning bugs, and Chaka Khan
Pizza, Prom night and Elton John
You were there beside me

Pinball was a major game
Pinochle, backgammon, much the same
Out late in the summer heat
'til dad?s would tell us to retreat
We lived life oh so full

CHORUS

Somehow our paths went separate ways
And so the page turns to today
When my young life I did outgrow
It happens to all the best you know
I wonder where you are

The part you played in my life?s story
So full of laughs, full of glory
You know all of it firsthand
Things no one else will understand
It lives on with me now

CHORUS
