| My friend lay wide awake at night | |
| Too cold and tired to carry out the fight | |
| We talked so much back then | |
| When someone's gone you remember everything | |
| He called and told me something's wrong | |
| Somehow the wheels had all come off | |
| He thought he'd call to say hello again | |
| He said | |
| I remember yesterday | |
| The games we played and things that mattered | |
| Never thought those days would end | |
| I said | |
| I'm glad you called me up today | |
| I thought you called to say hello | |
| Now I know, you were saying goodbye | |
| I asked if he would be all right | |
| Said don't give up and sleep well, tonight | |
| Come over here my friend | |
| We'll laugh just like we used to way back then | |
| But still I knew something was wrong | |
| The way he sounded as he talked | |
| I said hold on until we meet again | |
| I said | |
| Remember yesterday | |
| The games we played and things that mattered | |
| You know those days will come again | |
| He said | |
| I'm glad I called you up today | |
| I think I'll come and say hello | |
| Now I know you were saying goodbye | |
| I waited days for my friend to call | |
| But he had already left | |
| Someday I'll see him again | |
| We'll remember yesterday | |
| The games we played and things that mattered | |
| And how those days would end | |
| I wish I could've made him stay | |
| I should have never let him go | |
| And I wish I had told him goodbye |
