Danny Vera Bye Bye Eddie
It's so long ago but I still remember
The time when we were just friends
Two little kids playing in the backyard
Dreaming 'bout cowboys and Indians
And I still recall the day we played football
And you felt flat on your face
What I didn't know that my tears of laughter
Would make you feel so ashamed
So, bye, bye Eddie
Bye, bye my friend
It's so long since we talked and made castles of sand
But I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then
Well I think of that summer, angry dog in that garden
I encouraged you to get the ball
You came running and screaming
When you finally got it
You didn't see the little fence at all
Then a couple of years later when we're playing football
A neighbor said here's what I gotta say
Did you hear the rumor about Eddie's family
I heard they're moving away
So, bye, bye Eddie
Bye, bye my friend
It's so long since we talked and made castles of sand
But I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then
One day I stopped by
And I knocked on your front door
I was just fooling around
When I looked through the window, no furniture left there
And only some stains on the ground
One day, afternoon, half a year later
My mother came to pick me up from school
When I looked at her face I could tell that I didn't want the truth
Son, he died on vacation, there's no explanation
I'm sorry to tell you your best friend is gone
And with tears in our eyes we walked to your old house that night
Singing, bye, bye Eddie
Bye, bye my friend
It so long since we talked and made castles of sand
But I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then
Singing, bye, bye Eddie
Bye, bye my friend
It so long since we talked and made castles of sand
I won't forget you, 'cause I think of you now and then
And maybe one day I will see you again
