There was a time when we were friends;
the dreams we shared would never end.
We were as close as close can be.
Close to you was close to me
and who knows why?
We never fought; we never dared
to risk the friendships that we shared.
We were a pair as pairs can be.
Paired with you was paired with me
and who knows why?
People change like seasons do.
They come and go;
they stay; they move.
Autumn gold turns winter blue.
Summer left and so did you.
Springtime green turns to brown.
Bright candles burn 'till they go down,
'till the light's as gone as gone can be,
gone from you,
gone from me
and who knows why?
People change like seasons do.
They come and go;
they stay; they move.
Autumn gold turns winter blue.
The years go by and I still miss you.
Springtime green turns to brown.
Bright candles burn 'till they go down,
'till the light's as gone as gone can be,
gone from you,
like you're gone from me
and who knows why?
