Gather round men, you I grew up with
My old friends that I used scuff with
Need you around me at this time
You've all had your turn to cry
And old friends stood closely by
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-ah
It's my time to cry, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's my turn to cry, uh-uh-uh-uh
It's my time

Gather round girls I used 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-ah
It's my time to cry, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's my turn to cry, yeah-eah-yeah-eah
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-ah
It's my time to cry, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's my turn to cry, yeah-eah-yeah....FADE
