Lyrics:

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
Through out 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
But all good things must end
No use crying for the dead and that's a fact
All my tears won't bring you back
But I never had a better friend than you
No I'll never have a better friend than you
