Mitchell

We were just teenagers when the story began

Young and wide-eyed without a map or a plan

Then life pulled us down onto two different roads

And forty long years slipped away, I suppose

I didn't know then if our paths would cross twice

Or if time would just keep on rolling the dice

Mitchell, your heart is so patient and kind

The kind of true friend that is so hard to find

When I need to talk, you just sit and you hear

Like those four decades passed and just disappeared

I want you to know, through the highs and the lows

I'll be right beside you wherever life goes

When we met face to face after all of that time

I wondered if we'd left our old friendship behind

But you started to speak, and you started to smile

And brought up a memory we'd lost for a while

You remembered the very last day that we shared

Forty years in the past, showing how much you cared

Mitchell, your heart is so patient and kind

The kind of true friend that is so hard to find

When I need to talk, you just sit and you hear

Like those four decades passed and just disappeared

I want you to know, through the highs and the lows

I'll be right beside you wherever life goes

I treasure this bond that we managed to save

From the silence and distance the passing years gave

You are so special, more than words can express

Having you back in my life, I am blessed

A loving and listening soul to the end

I'm so lucky to call you my friend

Oh Mitchell, your heart is so patient and kind

The kind of true friend that is so hard to find

When I need to talk, you just sit and you hear

Like those forty lost years just disappeared

I want you to know, through the highs and the lows

I'll be right here for you, wherever life goes

Yeah, I'll always be here for you, wherever life goes
