Roy Orbison - Best Friend

An old man on his death bed whispered to me
"You are the master of your destiny"
A diamond is a diamond a stone a stone
But a man’s not all good nor all bad

Call them as you see them
You’ll stand alone
You’re the best friend that you ever had oh yeah
You’re the best friend that you ever had

So laugh when it’s time to laugh,
Cry when it’s time to cry,
Live while it’s time to live
You’ll die when it’s time to die Then he closed his eyes and left me alone,
My old friend’s death brought his wisdom home
A diamond is a diamond a stone a stone
But a man’s not all good nor all bad

Call them as you see them
You’ll stand alone,
You’re the best friend that you ever had oh yeah
You’re the best friend that you ever had

So laugh when it’s time to laugh
Cry when it’s time to cry
Live while it’s time to live
you’ll die when it’s time to die
