‘My friend you're gone
Someday I hope we meet again
I look unto the left and then I look unto the right
I see your faded figure almost every single night
Is my imagination playing tricks on me
But in my heart you see, you will always be...
My friend, you're gone
Someday I hope we meet again
You're singin' in a band with a mic on in your hand
That way that you would sing really made me feel all grand
You left your friends alone right upon this earth
I wish that would've seen how much life was worth’
My friend, yeahhh, you're gone
Someday, someday, someday, now I hope we meet again’
Bridge
‘Yeahhh I hope we meet again now hey yeahh yeaah yeahh yeahhh yeahhhohhh’
