Gather round men you I grew up with
My old friends that I used scuff with
Need you round me at this time
You've all had your turn to cry and 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 ah ah ah it's my time to cry oh oh oh
It's my time to cry uh uh uh it's my time

Gather round girls I used to to play house with
Come here girls I first kissed on the mouth with
I need your tender words so kind
You've all had your misty eyes but old friends stood by to dry
Friends of mine stand by me cause it's my time

It's my time it's my time it's my time
It's my time to cry ah ah ah it's my time to cry oh oh oh
It's my turn to cry yeah yeah yeah it's my time
