We Could Be Friends

I remember when I first saw you

Under an October sky

You were looking there at me

With your deep brown eyes

And I said to myself

Why don't I give her a try?

I think I may, I think I might

Try and make her mine tonight



I said "Hey, we could be friends

From the beginning to the very end

And it don't matter what they say

'Cause I will love you

To the very last day of our lives



When all of our friends

Are going after perfect tens

I'll find no need to pretend

That you are far more beautiful

Than all of the girls

With their head in the clouds

'Cause the one who I've found

Is more desirable."



Soon I'll die and I'll be with the Lord

In that home in heaven

That I've been waiting for

And I'll walk down those streets

Of gold with pride

'Cause from the early moments

Of my life I realized...
