This song was written for one of my best friends from high school after our 20th year class reunion. I think the words speak for themselves.

Friends they come and go
sometimes I don't even know
if they are real
I'd really like to know somehow.

People often play games
up and down and all around they go
but I don't want to play
I only want to be a friend.

The masquerade goes on
wearing faces that seem to belong
but I don't think they're real
and I don't think I'll ever really know.

My friend, just want you to know
after all the years gone by I know
that you are real
and I'm so glad that you're my friend
until the end
yes we'll be friends until the end.
