I still see your face when i close my eyes
Its hard to believe that your gone my friend
I still call you up and i think your there
But its not your voice on the other end

And i know that youre out there somewhere
On a leave of absence from his place
And i still set a place for you
place right next to me
And your glass will always be full

Oh Lord
I wish i knew the reason
Oh Lord
How about some words of wisdom
Oh Lord
Well this aint no testimony
Oh Lord
Its just a song for absent friends

And i still remember all the faces 
Of the friends who had to go
All the times we shared
The tears we cried
All the fights we had
I wouldnt change a thing oh no
And it brings a smile to my face
When i remember

And i know that youre out there somewhere
On a leave of absence from his place
And i still have a place for you all
place around near me
And your glasses will always be full

Oh Lord
I wish i knew the reason
Oh Lord
How about some words of wisdom
Oh Lord
Well this aint no testimony
Oh Lord
Its just a song for absent friends

Oh Lord
Its just a song for absent friends
Oh Lord
Its just a song for absent friends
Oh Lord
Its just a song for absent friends
Oh Lord
Its just a song for absent friends
