Please Don't Go Too Far Away From Me

[Ralph C.]

Please don’t go too far away from me
I want more than to just stay in touch
Your friendship is an anchor for me
When the ocean’s waves are too much

Please don’t go too far away from me
I want to do more than drop you a line
Your friendship is like the sun to me
I’m lucky enough to see it shine

Please don’t go too far away from me
I want more than just a simple “hello”
Your friendship is a candle for me
And I want that wick to burn really slow

Please don’t go too far away from me
I need more than just a hearty wave
Your friendship is the bottom of the ninth
And I want to come in and get the save

Please don’t go too far away from me
I hope to get more than a postcard
Your friendship is the sweetest poem
Allow me to be its village bard

Please don’t go too far away from me
I ask you to please keep me in mind
Your friendship is a bountiful treasure
That I was fortunate enough to find

Please don’t go too far away from me
I hope you give me more than a ring
Your friendship is a melodious song
That I will always be proud to sing

Please don’t go too far away from me
I know time has a way of slipping by
Your friendship is all the bright stars
And I love to gaze up at that sky.
