When I was sick You'd whisk me away To adventures with your friends And make it a good day
There were lessons to learn There was wisdom to teach A world of simple joy All within my reach
We bounced and trounced We worried and pondered We celebrated and whooped We gazed and we wandered
I'll never forget those times No, I wouldn't dare All the adventures in your woods Me and you, you silly old bear
It’s been a long time since I put you away and thought I’d never see you again but I unpacked you today
Bringing me comfort when I most need it Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold My eternal friends, always there You never judge, you never scold
In spite of the times we yelled at one another We got through it together To the years of spaceships and video games Of action figures and code names Through that whole time our friendship survived
On that first day of school when you didn’t know anyone at all I was there so you wouldn’t feel afraid.
