I looked into the face of an old saint of God.
I thought he'd [Eb] raise and he [Db] did.
His life crown [Ab] he's won.
Separated for the present, but soon to live again.
He's [Eb] only [Ab] gone away with a friend.
Gone away with [Db] a friend.
Someone closer [Eb] than a brother.
Someone who loves you more than children, dad or mother.
He [Db] holds you very close in the palm of his hand.
Let it read on my tombstone, gone away [Ab]
with a friend.
Now he's my constant companion through life's joy and life's pain.
All my hope and my tears I [Db] hold in his dear name.
And when my soul breathes free from the ties that bind me here, [Ab]
I'm gone away with Jesus, no greater friend so dear.
Gone away with a friend.
Someone closer than a brother.
[Eb] Someone who loves you more than [Db]
children, dad [Ab] or mother.
He holds you very close in the palm of his hand.
Let it read on my tombstone, gone away with a friend.
