Richard

You always know how to light up a room

Chasing away every shadow and gloom

The funniest guy that I've ever known

A reliable friend to the very bone

We'd take the dog walking, just pacing the street

Your stories and jokes making every day sweet

Oh Richard, I miss you, I'm saying it loud

You're the one who stands out in the middle of a crowd

I love you, my friend, and I’m lost without you

But the memories we made are pulling me through

Yeah, I'm lost when you're gone, so I'll raise up a glass

To a friendship like ours that was built out to last

I think of the days catching rays in the sun

Our trips out to Benidorm, nothing but fun

We'd sit in the garden and crack open a beer

I'd give almost anything just to have you right here

You keep me so entertained, laughing out loud

Calling you my friend makes me lucky and proud

Oh Richard, I miss you, I'm saying it loud

You're the one who stands out in the middle of a crowd

I love you, my friend, and I’m lost without you

But the memories we made are pulling me through

Yeah, I'm lost when you're gone, so I'll raise up a glass

To a friendship like ours that was built out to last

A cold one is waiting whenever we meet

Without your jokes, man, the day's incomplete

You're steady and true, you're a hell of a friend

A bond that I know I can trust to the end

I'm lost without you, but I'm holding on tight

To those garden cheers going late in the night

Oh Richard, I miss you, I'm saying it loud

You're the one who stands out in the middle of a crowd

I love you, my friend, and I’m lost without you

But the memories we made are pulling me through

Yeah, I'm lost when you're gone, so I'll raise up a glass

To a friendship like ours that was built out to last
