i've known you for so long

you are a friend of mine

but is this all we'd ever be

i've loved you ever since

you are a friend of mine

but babe is this all we ever could be

you tell me things i've never known

i've shown you love you've never shown

but then again when you cry

i'm always at your side

you tell me bout the love you've had

i listen very eagerly

but deep inside you'll never see

this feeling of emptiness

it makes me feel sad

but then again i'm glad

i've known you all my life

you are a friend of mine

i know this is how it's gonna be

i've loved you then and i love you still

you're a friend of mine

now i know friends are

all we ever could be

you tell me things i've never known

i've shown you love you've never shown

but then again when you cry

i'm always at your side

you tell me bout the love you've had

and i listen very eagerly

but deep inside you'll never see

this feeling of emptiness

it makes me feel sad

but then again

then again

then again i'm glad
