My Buddy

Music composed by Walter Donaldson, with lyrics by Gus Kahn

Life is a book that we study

Some of its leaves bring a sigh

There it was written by a buddy

That we must part,

You and I . . .

Nights are long since you

went away

I think about you

all through the day

My buddy, my buddy

Nobody quite so true.

Miss your voice,

the touch of your hand

Just long to know

that you understand

My buddy, my buddy

Your buddy misses you

I’m missing your voice

the touch of your hand

and longing to know

that you understand

My buddy, my buddy

Your buddy’s missing

you.
