I never had a closer friend than you I never had such good times as the ones we used to have together You're the one I told my problems to Through out the years remained true blue No I never had a closer friend than you But all good things must end No use trying to pretend it isn't so When it's time you gotta go But I never had a better friend than you I know it sounds a trifle odd To those who've never had a dog But I never had a closer friend than you But all good things must end No use crying for the dead and that's a fact All my tears won't bring you back But I never had a better friend than you No I'll never have a better friend than you
