I met you the day you were born And God knows I can't stand it I took those days for granted I wish I knew you more And I knew that we would someday grow up And time would run out then But we used to be my friend In brotherly love? Ooh, the Lord gave you something special So don't you hide behind an excuse What do you have to lose? You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in For eternity, I'll call you friend I pray that you find a God-fearing man And I trust that you will always keep Jesus in your fault days 'Cause He died for your sin And I can't wait to see it in the sky Flying to our home there Have confidence in Christ Where He lives deep inside 'Cause God gave you something special So don't you hide behind an excuse What do you have to lose? You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in For eternity, I'll call you friend Call on Him, call on Him, friend Call on Him 'cause your life depends on it When your dreams fade on the 21st of October It ain't all over, God holds His precious daughter You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in Know that you are never alone on this weary road December will come but the lining is silver as snow The anchor is Christ when it's cold to the bitter bone To the end and again, for eternity I'll call you friend Oh, I'll call you Oh, Melody Ann For eternity, I'll call you friend
