Best Friend Lyrics - Roy Orbison

La, la, la, la, la 

An old man on his death bed whispered to me 

You are the master of your destiny 

A diamond is a diamond, a stone, a stone 

But a man? s not all good nor all bad 

Call them as you see them 

You? ll stand alone 

You? re the best friend that you ever had, ohh, yeah 

You? re the best friend that you ever had

So, laugh when it? s time to laugh 

Cry when it? s time to cry 

Live while it? s time to live 

You? ll die when it? s time to die 

La, la, la, la, la, la 

Then he closed his eyes and left me alone 

My old friend? s death brought his wisdom home 

A diamond is a diamond, a stone, a stone 

But a man? s not all good nor all bad 

Call them as you see them 

You? ll stand alone 

You? re the best friend that you ever had, ohh, yeah 

You? re the best friend that you ever had
