I hope the day will be a lighter highway,

For friends are found on every road,
        Em7           A7         D   Dsus4  D
Can you ever think of any better way,

For the lost and weary travellers to go?

It seems to me a crime that we should age,

These fragile times should never slip us by,

A time you never can or shall erase,

As friends together watch their childhood fly.
