Lyrics

I can still remember the day I got the news
You would have sworn I'd lost my closest friend
A friend who stood beside me through thick and through thin
How I wish I could see my friend again

Chorus:
Oh, those sweet memories
I'd give anything I'd own
For just one more minute
Of my life with him in it
How I wish I could see my friend again

I can still see him early in the morning
Getting up long before the sun
He'd always say "Come on boy
It's time to get a move on
Time to get those morning chores done"

Chorus
Oh, those sweet memories
I'd give anything I own
For just one more minute
Of my life with him in it
How I wish I could see my friend again

They say there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother
And I believe that that 'ol scripture's true
But pardon me Lord, that friend he was my father
And now he's stickin' mighty close to you

Chorus
Oh, those sweet memories
I'd give anything I own
For just one more minute
Of my life with him in it
How I wish I could see my friend again
I know someday I'll see my friend again
