Parting Ways

My friends are beautiful and bright.
How I wish that we could stay!
Full of hope and dreams are they.
They are the stars that light my night.

We say that we will be all right
When we each have gone a separate way.
My friends are beautiful and bright.
How I wish that we could stay!

And yet my heart is filled with fright
That it can not quite hold at bay.
But I shall fight through each lonely day
As we each take off on a solo flight.
How I wish that we could stay!
My friends are beautiful and bright.
