We were just beginning
I didn't know your name
You were there with everybody
Walking in the rain
I didn't have to tell you
You didn't have to ask
I knew that we'd be friends forever
I knew that we could last

Tried to show you all that I believe
How you are to me
More than I could ever think or dream
You're all that a friend can be

I remember walking with you
In the summer late afternoon
Looking out for something to do
'cos you know we're best friends
But if I don't know where you are
You will always be in my heart
All along we knew we would part
But you know we're best friends

I could understand you
And you could make me laugh
I never meant to take for granted
All the time we had
So the time is here now
We're gonna be apart
And now I'm gonna take you with me
If only in my heart
