Oh Lili, How Far You’ll Go

By Penny Nunes

Only a month until my best friend leaves
Only a month until I’m crying into my sleeves
The girl who always listens, the girl who always smiles
She’s gonna be gone, and that will hurt for a while

I’ve turned to her for all my advice
After she leaves, nothing else will suffice
She’s seen me laugh, she’s seen me cry
She’s helped me climb the mountains that just feel too high

But after all, I am so proud
I will be cheering for her extra loud
She has worked so hard, pouring her heart into everything
She works and works until she’s got nothing left to bring

Always know I’m here, just a call away
Never forget your home, here in the bay
Lili Metanovic, the girl you are
You are going to go so incredibly far
