You were the best friend I ever knew
There was nothing I had to pretend
And nothing to prove
You gave a love that came to me
So strong and so free
And now that you're gone
You have left me life's legacy
But it's so hard to live on your own
And it's so hard learning to live without
My darling companion
Nothing can last forever
This much I know
So sad and so sorry we came to the end
And now nothing in this wide world
Can compare to your smile
But I count myself lucky
That I had your love for a while
But it's so hard to live on your own
And it's so hard learning to live without
My darling companion
It was you that showed me there's no way
Of getting blood from a stone
And those who's love won't come easy
Well, you just leave them alone
If there's a shadow on the sun today
And the moon is hiding behind the cloud
It's because I've been thinking of you
And your sweet, sweet way
