Some Wednesday mornings - when time falls into place

We sit at breakfast - and jest about our fates

Our waitress Helen - she knows our routine

Coffee is waiting for us - when we take our seats.

Sometimes we laugh so loud - heads turn our way

And sometimes in softer tones - we bow our heads and pray

And I have such true, true friends - like few men I have known

I walk this life with them and know I'm not alone

I'm sure that better men have come through their lives

And I hope that where I can - I will be a true, true friend

Like you have been - in my life.

Sometimes, when I have strayed - or I'm just down

Some thought or word you say - brings me around

And I hear the words you say - you've walked a mile in my shoes

I know you understand - the things I stand to lose.

Some old jokes and anecdotes and some stories of our lives

Down that last cup of joe - oh my, how this time flies

A moment's margin in the timing of our days

Another week or two - let's meet here together once again

In this place - In this place.
