In good old times, remember my friend,
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"
One cloudy day we both lost the game
We drifted so far and away
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes
"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me now"
I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie
I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes, oh, shamandalie
Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Now I have seen the light
These memories make me cry
"Can I ever have what I had then?
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
See the world with my wide open eyes
Friendship got broken
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood
Can you forgive me?
Love got better off me,
On that day back in old times"
