I entered his room
Where we played records
The curtains were drawn
No sounds to be heard
Last time I saw him
His soul was on fire
I thought it the whiskey
I thought it the night

For a friend he would do anything
For me he was always there
For a friend he would do anything
But this world never cared

He may have been lonely
He may have been hurting
But he always smiled
And greeted each day
Some thought they knew him
But they were mistaken
They never realized
The heart in his eyes

For a friend he would do anything
For me he was pure gold
For a friend he would do anything
But his story was not told

It's too late for doctors
It's too late for friends
It's too late for family
All promises end
And I feel so guilty
Though I was trying
While she's out there dancing
Without any cares

For a friend he would do anything
For me he saved my life
For a friend he would do anything
But he lived lonely nights
 
For a friend he would do anything
For me he was always there
For a friend he would do anything
But this life wasn't fair

And that he could not bare
