by it's been a long time since we last spoke
what happened to long nights of jokes
we used to be so so together
but now it seems like its been forever

we met so long ago but i still remember
it was in the school yard in mid september
you walked right to me and i heard you say
I'll be your best friend just promise to stay

tears of laughter were all we'd ever shed
you were always there for me when I felt dead
but so many days now gone by fast
this silence seems to last and last

and we met so long ago but i still remember
it was in the school yard in mid september
you walked right to me and i heard you say
I'll be your best friend just promse to stay

I'm still here my friend but where have you gone
please forgive me I know i've done wrong
give me a chance now come on give me a chance
if i fail then let this be our farewell dance

and let me tell you now I still remember
it was in the school yard in mid september
you walked right to me and i heard you say
I'll be your best friend just promse to stay

and let me tell you that im still here
(faded voice) I always will be here
so just hold on tight I'll be right here
