I never had a closer friend than you
I never had such good times as the ones we used to have together
You're the one I told my problems to
Throughout the years remained true blue
No I never had a closer friend than you
But all good things must end
No use trying to pretend it isn't so
When it's time you gotta go
But I never had a better friend than you
I know it sounds a trifle odd
To those who've never had a dog
But I never had a closer friend than you
