I never had a closer friend than you

I never had such good times

As the ones we used to have together

You're the one I told my problems to

Who through the years remained true blue

No I never had a closer friend than you



But all good things must end

No use trying to pretend it isn't so

When it's time you gotta go

But I never had a better friend than you



I know it sounds a trifle odd

To those who've never had a dog

But I never had a closer friend than you



But all good things must end

No use crying for the dead

And that's a fact

All my tears won't bring you back

And I never had a better friend than you

No I'll never have a better friend than you
