When we were young how we could run, together beneath the sun
Hopes and dreams we shared the gleams of life ahead of us
Now long ago where did it go, in the twinkling of an eye
Together we have shared a journey, but now we must say goodbye
Well it's you, well it's you, the best of all companions is you
Well it's you, well it's you, the best of all companions is you
To be with you together, in your final waking breaths
How I cherish looking at you, your sweet and gentleness
Though soon you part it's just a short time to the other side of the hill
So save a place for me beside you, for when I too must climb the hill
Well it's you, well it's you, the best of all companions is you
Well it's you, well it's you, the best of all companions is you
Goodbye my companion, how I'm sad to see you go
I've never loved for anybody, how I've loved you so
Goodbye my companion, how I ache to see you go
I've never loved for anybody, how I've loved you so
Well it's you, well it's you, the best of all companions is you
Well it's you, well it's you, the best of all companions is you
