My oh my, time sure flies

I like what you've done to your hair

I've been fine, yeah, these boys are mine

That must be your little girl there



Some friendships grow distant with time

And it's no wonder, emily, so much can change

We're too far to visit, too busy to write

But a closeness between us remains



Chorus:

Best friends are made through smiles and tears

And sometimes that fades over miles and years

But i knew right away when i saw you again

Emily, we'll always be friends



I still sing now and then

Mostly at weddings for friends

And i just bet you still get

A yearning to paint now and then



They tore down our whole street

Now there's a bank where the house was we shared back in school

Remember we both have each other to thank

For all the boyfriends we're not married to



Chorus



"stay as you are and you'll go far"

You signed my yearbook

"don't forget me when you're a big star"



We can't stay, it's getting late

And they said not to let you get tired

We'll just be up the street

The number's right here by your side



Oh no it's no trouble

I don't want to hear how all this changes my plans

I'll see you tomorrow

Call me tonight, emmy, please let me do what i can



Chorus
