My Buddy
Harry James & His Orchestra Feat. Frank Sinatra Lyrics

Life is a book that we study,
Life is a complex experience that we learn from through every chapter and page.

Some of its leaves bring a sigh,
Life is not always easy, some pages of our life bring sadness and longing to our heart.

There it was written, my buddy,
But, in the content of that complex experience of life, there was someone dear, a friend, who made a significant impact on our life, and whom we will always miss.

That we must part, you and I.
Eventually, life will separate us from our friends, and we must move on with only our memories of them.

[Chorus]
Despite the separation, the memories of our experience and friendship continue to resonate through our life affecting every part of it.

Nights are long since you went away,
The night becomes longer without the presence of that person in our life.

I think about you all through the day,
We never stop thinking about that person, and they continue to have a place in our heart and thoughts every day.

My buddy, my buddy, no buddy quite so true.
That person meant so much to us and was so true to us that no one else we will ever meet could have replaced them, and they keep that special place in our heart forever.

Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
Their voice and touch were so special to us, and we miss them every day, we long for the comfort of their presence, even if only for a moment.

Just long to know that you understand,
We continue to desire that connection, even after separation, we want them to know that they were important to us, and that they continue to be a part of us.

My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you
They will always remain our buddy, and we will forever remember our friendship, despite the distance and time, we miss them dearly.

Buddies through all the gay days,
We shared many happy moments together, and no one else understands that as they did since they were there every moment with us.

Buddies when something went wrong;
They were there for us in the hard times as well, and that is how we know that they were truly sincere in their friendship, they were there when we needed them the most.

I wait alone through the gray days,
In times of despair or confusion, we often wait alone for that special person to come and comfort us, but they are not there anymore, just as the page in the book, and our life, has turned, so has the story of our friendship.

Missing your smile and your song.
We remember their energy, their happiness, and their spirit, which brought joy into our life, we miss that now more than ever.

[Chorus]
But still, we carry our memories around with us, and they will forever be a part of us, just as the lines in a book are a part of the story. They will always be our buddy, and forever missed.
