You went in the morning
We didn't say goodbye
The friends that you left here
Wonder why

I wish I could see you
Just for a day
Tell you we miss you
And ask you to stay

To absent friends (*)
This one's for you

You went without warning
We didn't even know
Just like the good ones
It was your turn to go

(Repeat *)

When we're together
You stand at our side
We'll raise our glasses
And toast you tonight

(Repeat *)
