Gather round girls you I grew up with my old friends that I used scuff with
I need your tender words so kind
You've all had your turn to cry but old friends stood closely by
Friends of mine stand by me it's my time
It's my time it's my time it's my time
It's my time to cry oh oh oh it's my time to cry ah ah ah
It's my time to cry yeah yeah yeah it's my time

Gather round boys I used to to play house with
Come here boys I first kissed on the mouth with
I need you round me at this time
You've all had your misty eyes but old friends stood by to dry
Friends of mine stand by me it's my time
It's my time
It's my time
