TV Special and Soundtrack[]
So long old friend,
I wish that I could see you once again,
I never knew, the time would come, when I'd be losing you.
I hope you know I never meant to treat you badly,
And now I know just what a friend like you, is for.
I never thought that it would end so sadly,
And you'd be walking through that door.
So long old friend,
I wish that I could see you once again,
I never knew, the time would come, when I'd be losing you.
I always thought our fun and games would just go on and on,
I never knew I'd have to say, "So long"...
