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.
