Clyde by my side

Ken Fadden 1966 (Massachusetts)

Lyric
Clyde by my side
I had a boy who never left my side. Others shunned him but surely not I.
He was so sweet and playful in his day. I never imagined having a friend with such a big heart which would be his downfall as it may.
He fought through setback after setback throughout his last year. Even up to his last day, I never had to say Clyde come hear.
