I’ve been thinking about you and me And how our friendship came to be How long ago I hoped that we
Could be Forever Friends
And how I look back on these days
And smile at all the little ways
We made the hard times seem okay
Like true Forever Friends
At times we’d laugh so hard and then We’d catch out breath and start again Cause’ having fun comes easy when You’re with Forever Friends
Together we’ve shared wonderful sights
Like soft spring days and starlight
When all the world seems still and right
With my Forever Friend
And on those days when rain would fall
And life was not much fun at all
You were always there to take my call
A true Forever Friend
Life’s wandering roads may take us far But if we’re apart let each bright star Remind us how blessed we are
To be Forever Friends
And when the stars shine down we’ll see
Perhaps by fate or destiny
A friendship that was meant to be
You and Me
Forever Friends
