i've known you since childhood we grew up in the same neighborhood we used to play in the park reluctant to go home at dark it seems as if we grew up so fast i wish the fun could've last at the beginning of high school i lost to that other girl at the pool it was then that i realized i love you but what could i do you made it clear that i was just a friend and would remain that way till the end so no matter who you do i'll stick by you our friends told me what you said you wanted to see they said that there is another girl you love they said she is as sweet as a dove they said her hair was real light and her eyes fill you with delight when they told me that, i felt sick because i was not your pick the next day you came my way you said you had something to say you told me that you had always loved me but was afraid that the love i did not see you said that it was me you wanted to be with and then to show you how i felt i gave you a kiss now you have closer than a friend and i hope we stay that way till the end i'm so happy you helped me see the light so i know that it was my eyes that filled you with delight. |
