Lyrics

Best of Friends
(copyright Mario Vickram Sen - 15 July 1997)

1
It?s sometimes hard to be with you,
Remembering the years we were as one.
It?s often some obscure regret
Intrudes when we?re beginning to have fun.
I keep my feelings to myself,
Suppressing what I know I should not say,
?Cause memories can?t substitute
For this relationship we have today.

Chorus:
And now I know, although there?s something we?ve forever lost,
I won?t begrudge this heavy cost, if only you and me...
We can forever be... the best of friends.

2
If we could turn back time, I know,
We probably would still end up this way.
?Cause things must be the way they are
And there?s no use reliving yesterday.
Still sometimes when I feel like this,
I fantasize a love that has no end,
But lover?s come and go again,
And few of them remain the best of friends.

Chorus:
And now I know, that we could never be the same again,
Despite the fact we?ve made amends and now clearly see,
The way it has to be.
And now I know, although there?s something we?ve forever lost,
I won?t begrudge this heavy cost, if only you and me...
We can forever be... the best of friends.
