There's this girl
She's my best friend
Her doctor says
Her life is 'bout to end
She's told it's gonna be tomorrow
And yet she smiles
Without a hint of sorrow

I know I'll cry tonight
And pray that she'll put up a fight
It seems so wrong
because she's always been so strong
And now she's gonna die
And I can't figure out why

I know she'll be happier in Heaven
But can't I cry?
My best friend might die
I wanna know what she did
That now she must meet her end

She has so many plans for the future
But they're never gonna come
Because she's leaving so soon

She'll never join the army
She'll never march another show
She'll never make another contest
She'll never play another concert
She'll never crack another joke
She'll never sing another song
She'll only be gone

She's my best friend
And she's about to die
And I don't wanna cry
I wanna hold her hand
And tell her it won't happen
I want her to stay strong
Till the very end
Because she is my best friend
