My Buddy
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some of its leaves bring a sigh
There it was written by a buddy
That we must part, you and I
Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
Your buddy misses you, yes I do
The song My Buddy by Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra is a touching tribute to a lost friend. The opening lyrics acknowledge the sadness of parting ways with someone close, and describe life as a book that we study. Some pages of the book bring us to tears, and one of those pages was written by the buddy who had to part ways. The following lyrics express the loneliness and longing for the departed friend. Nights are long and thoughts of the friend occupy the singer's mind throughout the day. The chorus repeats the words "My buddy, my buddy / Nobody quite so true" to emphasize the depth of the friendship.
The second stanza repeats the sentiment of missing the friend's voice and touch, and longing for a mutual understanding that was once shared. The final chorus again repeats the same lines, but this time with a sad and poignant twist. The phrase "Your buddy misses you" takes on new meaning, as the lyrics shift the focus from the singer's perspective to the perspective of the departed friend. The loss is mutual, and the final line "yes I do" is a heartbreaking reminder of the singer's eternal longing for the friend.
Overall, My Buddy is a simple and sincere tribute to a lost friend. Its lyrics are filled with nostalgia and regret, but they also remind us of the importance of cherishing the people we love while we still have the chance.

Life is a book that we study
Life is a learning experience
Some of its leaves bring a sigh
Some experiences are sad
There it was written by a buddy
But, we have friends who stand by us
That we must part, you and I
Although, we must say goodbye to each other
Nights are long since you went away
Without you, every night feels longer than it is
I think about you all through the day
My thoughts never leave you throughout the day
My buddy, my buddy
You were such a great friend
Nobody quite so true
I've never had such a trustworthy friend like you
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
I long for the comfort of your presence
Just long to know that you understand
I want you to know that you will always be understood by me
Your buddy misses you
I miss you, dear friend
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
I want to feel your voice and touch again
Just long to know that you understand
I want you to know that I understand you completely
Your buddy misses you
I miss your companionship, dear friend
Your buddy misses you, yes I do
My longing for you never fades away

¡Maravillosas y espectaculares piezas musicales! No me resistí, soy PCD-Persona con discapacidad y me puse en una silla fuerte y sentada allí, inventé mi propia coreografía, con movimientos suaves y rítmicos, con estiramientos musculares simétricos y también independientes, libres, que tanto benefician a nuestro organismo. ¡Muchísimas gracias Marcos Benetoli! El movimiento es VIDA, caminemos más, desplacémonos con alegría, respirando profundamente, maravillándonos el estar aqui, y tener la oportunidad de disfrutar de esta CREACIÓN INFINITA, y parte de ella cada uno de nosotros, que ya vinimos programados con todas las herramientas para ser exitosos y felices. Un gran abrazo de amor y luz para cada uno y una. ¡Grandioso estar VIVOS! 😍🙏😇
