Life is a book that we study Some of it's leaves bring a sigh There it was written by my buddy That we must part, you and I Nights are long since you went away And I think about you all through the day My buddy, my buddy Nobody quite so true I miss your voice, touch of your hand I long to know that you understand My buddy, my buddy Your buddy misses you Your buddy misses you I miss your voice, the touch of your hand And I long to know that you understand My buddy, my buddy Your buddy misses you My buddy
