5    5   5  5    5     5   5     4
Pack-ing up the dreams God plant-ed
-4  -4  -4  -4   -4   -4 -3
in the fer-tile soil of you
 5     5   5    5    5    5     5   -4
Can't be-lieve the hopes He's grant-ed
 -3   4  -4  -4  -4  -4   -4  -4  -3
means a chap-ter in your life is thru.
 3   5     -5   5    6   -5 -5  5 
But we'll keep you close as al-ways
-4  -4   -5 -5  -5   5       4
it won't e-ven seem you've gone
  4    5    5      5  5   5    5    4
cause our hearts, in big and small ways,
 4     -4  -4  -4   5    -4    4   4
will keep the love that keeps us strong.

Chorus:
 5     6     6    6      6  6   6
And friends are friends for-e-ver
6   6    6     -5  -5   5  -4
if the Lord's the Lord of them,
 6  6    6    6    6   6    6  6
And a friend will not say 'ne-ver'
  6    6   6   -5   -5  -5  -4 
cause the wel-come will not end. 
   6   -5     5   5  5  -5  5
Though it's hard to let you go,
-4  4   -4  4      -4   -4  4
in the Fa-ther's hands we know,
 -3  4  -5   -5    5    4   2
That a life-time's not too long
2    -4  4   4
to live as FRIENDS.
