I've known you for so long you are a friend of mine And babe this is all we'd ever be I've loved you ever since You are a friend of mine And babe this is all we ever could be You tell me things I've never known I've shown you love you've never shown And/But then again where you go/are I'm always at your side You tell me 'bout the love you had I'd listen very eagerly But deep inside you'll never see This feelin' of emptiness that 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 loved you then and I love you still You are a friend of mine And I know friends are all we ever could be. Then again, then again I'm glad
