Jazz Standard "My Buddy"

Life is a book that we study
Some of its leaves bring a sigh
There it was written, my Buddy
that we must part, you and I...

Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Nobody (or "no buddy") quite so true
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand-
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you

Buddies through all of the gay days
Buddies when something went wrong
I wait alone through the gray days
missing your smile and your song...

Nights are long since you went away
I think about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy
Nobody (or "no buddy")quite so true
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand-
Just long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy
Your buddy misses you
