So good to watch my friends dreaming their lives away 

 
So good to watch my friends dreaming all through the day 

 
If I could take them with me, well, you know I would 

 
If I could show them all the things that I've seen, I wish I could 

 

 
So sad to watch my friends growing older 

 
So sad to watch my friends growing colder 

 
If I could give them all some sunshine, you know I would 

 
If I could take them all to Monterrey, I wish I could 

 

 
So sad to watch my friends as they watch me 

 
So sad to hear them talking about the things that used to be 

 
One day perhaps I will buy myself a big boat 

 
And take all my friends away 

 
Maybe one day I will buy myself an island 

 
And there with my friends you know I'll stay. 

 

 
So long, old buddies, I'm going away 

 
So long, old buddies, I'm leaving today 

 
But don't forget all the things that we will do 

 
And I know you'll spare a thought for me 

 
I'll say a prayer for you
