???
They say you died before
And you're living now
Well I would like to know you
If I can be your friend
They say its not easy to talk to you
I think I'll try
Please don't pass me by
Come and see me
You're welcome here
I would like to know you
Can I go your way
They say you're the one to rely on all the days
They say you died before
And you're smiling now
Well I would like to know you
If I can, I'll be your friend
They say it's not easy to be with you for very long
But please don't pass me by
I think I'd like to try
Oh must I go down
Where are you going
Come back again
