Friend Like You

INSTRUMENTAL
It was so long ago
But the moment is as fresh as the sky
You walked in through the door
Gave a smile to me and simply said "hi"

And I could tell that the moment was true
When breathing came a second to you

But time has come and gone now
And life it's taken a strange path
I'd have put money on your situation
But never dreamt it would come round so fast

Those nights of conversation, the highlight of my years
Are echoed now in these few tears

I know where you're going
I see where we've been
This place where we are now
I could have never forseen
I offer a lifetime
But you can't find an hour
And it's hard
To lose a friend like you

It's like being in a theatre
And you're shining, out of touch, on the screen
When last month we're making music
And today you're making the scene

And though change is good thing for me
If there's a God surely he'd hear my plea

I know where you're going
I see where we've been
This place where we are now
I could never forsee
I offer a lifetime
But you can't find an hour
And it's hard, so very hard
To lose a friend like you
INSTRUMENTAL

And it's not that I'm in love, like some weak-kneed schoolboy fool
But this pause in my life is for you

I know where you're going
I see where we've been
This place where we are now
I could never forsee
I offer my lifetime
But you can't find an hour
And it's hard (and it's hard)
It's oh so hard (oh so hard)
To lose a friend like you
