Lyrics
SPECIAL PEOPLE – COAD SISTERS (V. Hermel)
Special times, special people memories dance around the fire
I think about the old times way past the midnight hour
Remembering the stories and days of long ago
If we could only see again old friends we used to know
We thought we were invincible we thought our dreams would last
But sadly far too many have fallen in the march
For time waits for no man and as the embers glow
I give thanks for my good mates special people I have known
Chorus
I would not trade those friends for all the gold on earth
You can’t put into money what a special friend is worth
I think of them at times gazing in the firelight
They hold a special place within this heart of mine
For in the street of strangers very few make it through
To be the ones we know as a mate we count as true
The ones we share a laugh with every once in a while
Always there in the background somewhere deep within our mind
The embers turn to ashes, I continue on my way
The road of life keeps calling my footsteps must obey
New faces come before me, although we may drift apart
Old mates remain forever special people in my heart
Chorus
No I would not trade those friends for all the gold on earth
You can’t put into money what a special friend is worth
I think of them at times gazing in the firelight
They hold a special place within this heart of mine
Yes,
They hold a special place within this heart of mine
