Since We Were Sixteen

Since we were 16

Oh, Sweet Friend

We’ve seen highs and we’ve seen lows

So many places we’ve been

and so many more to go

So many years have passed

since we first met

So many good times

That I’ll never forget

We laughed ourselves silly

And shared many tears

I’m so glad you’ve been my friend

For all these years

You’re so precious to me

More than a diamond could be worth

And if I searched everywhere

All over this earth

I could never find another friend

Quite like you

You’ve been there so many times for

me out of the blue

And when we were 16

Is when it all began

So grateful that you

were a part of God’s plan

What a gift you have been

All these years in between

From where we now stand

And since we were 16

I love you, Dear Friend

I hope you know that in your heart

So grateful you’re in my life

And you’ve always been a part

Of the highs and the lows

And the places we’ve seen

Sharing so much of life

Since we were 16

For my BFF, Idgy

Love you forever
