Lyrics

LOVERS TO FRIENDS

o sweet one
younger than me
thanks for giving us a try
though it wasn't meant to be
and though it's quite unusual
for lovers to stay friends
the music magic's mutual
as our voices sweetly blend
where willows bend

numbered are the years we live
the sums forced us apart
but numberless the stars and sands
which link us heart to heart
love has no chart

we rode a shooting star
brilliant in the night
once near and dear it now seems so far
yet lasts as a delight
and though that blaze I treasure
I'll put it to one side for I'm
counting on the pleasure
of your smile from time to time
when our voices rhyme

numbered are the years we live

though in the end
love's hard to deny
I think perhaps I can transcend
these yearnings by and by
so maybe we can be great mates
as I less and less pretend
our lips which sing might also kiss
when our voices sweetly blend
oh dearest friend
