18 Years

I have known my best friend practically since birth. This summer we are both turning 18. As a present, I wrote this song and am going to get it recorded. Please tell me what you think.

P.S. A lot of it is inside jokes/memories.

We’ve been here for 18 years
And guess what we’re still going strong
And I still remember all the good times
Even though it’s been so long

Like the time we hid that domino
Rolling around, playing in snow
Fireworks every 4th of July
Look how far bottles can fly
Then that time you cut your hair
We still danced without a care
Looking back now I know
This is how friendship’s supposed to go

Now it will never be the same
Running out the back door, calling your name
You were always there for me
Like a best friend always should be
And as we go down our separate roads, please keep in touch
And just remember, I love you so much

Getting ready for the big parade
Ooh, the shark won that day
Dragging the pool underneath the slide
I have seen your crazy side
Staying up late, well maybe not
I’m still thankful for the time we got
Looking back now I know
This is how friendship’s supposed to go.

Now it will never be the same
Running out the back door, calling your name
You were always there for me
Like a best friend always should be
And as we go down our separate roads, please keep in touch
And just remember, I love you so much

Now we’ll be miles away instead of right next door
But we’ll stay friends forever, down to the core
Who knew growing up could be so tough
But remember, I'm here to lift you up

Now it will never be the same
Running out the back door, calling your name
You were always there for me
Like a best friend always should be
And as we go down our separate roads, please keep in touch
And just remember, I love you so much

We’ve been here for 18 years
And guess what we’re still going strong
