It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'd be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place, uh

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

First, you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turned to a friendship
A friendship turned to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost

And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached
So remember me when I'm gone

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

When I see you again
See you again, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I see you again

Wiz Khalifa has paid a touching tribute to the late Paul Walker with his new music video See You Again.

The track, which features on the Fast & Furious 7 soundtrack, was shared via Vin Diesel's Facebook page and has already had over 35million views.

As well as featuring clips of Paul playing Brian O'Connor, it also includes the final scenes that he filmed, making it all the more heartfelt and moving.

Speaking of what they wanted the song to achieve, Universal Picture's president of music Mike Knoblock said:

“Once it was clear that that’s the [film’s] structure - the cast saying goodbye to Paul’s character - we put it out to writers that the song had to be earnest and celebratory. We knew we didn’t want people leaving the theatre sad.”

The seventh addition to the franchise broke records with its £96.1m opening weekend, making it the 9th largest opening of all time, and the top earning non-superhero movie.

"This is a bittersweet installment in the franchise. Walker's passing made this movie more intriguing for people who hadn't seen some of the installments," said Phil Contrino, BoxOffice.com chief analyst.

"It raised awareness and its success is a tribute to him."
