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

And babe is this all we ever could be



*You tell me things I'll never know

I'll show you love you've never shown

and then again where you go

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

that makes me feel sad

But then again I'm glad



I've know 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



(Repeat * except last line)

But then again, then again

then again I'm glad
