Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of man who's hard to find, Steady hands and a gentle mind, Who shows up when the sky turns gray, And carries all your fears away. Through every worried midnight call, He answered, standing strong and tall. [Chorus] Oh, here's to you, a heart so true, The best of friends, the finest through and through. You healed what hurt, you eased the fight, You brought the morning back to night. The world is better, this I know, Because of everywhere you'd go. [Verse 2] Every dog you calmed, each frightened cat, You knew their pain and mended that. The smartest man I've ever known, Yet you never had to say it on your own. So loyal, kind, and always fair, Dr Bonda, you were always there. [Chorus] Oh, here's to you, a heart so true, The best of friends, the finest through and through. You healed what hurt, you eased the fight, You brought the morning back to night. The world is better, this I know, Because of everywhere you'd go. [Bridge] They call you Mike, but I call you gold, A legacy no time can hold. You and Darren, side by side, A love that shines, a gentle pride. [Verse 3] Now the days are yours to keep, The well-earned rest, the peace so deep. But something tells me you'll still share That wisdom, healing everywhere. Forever teaching, ever wise, My dearest friend, my truest prize. [Chorus] Oh, here's to you, a heart so true, The best of friends, the finest through and through. You healed what hurt, you eased the fight, You brought the morning back to night. The world is better, this I know, Dr Bonda, don't you ever go. [Outro] So rest now, Mike, you've done your part, You'll always live inside my heart.
