Friends come a dime a dozen, Ooh
but I know that I will never find a friend like you, Ooh
And that’s why I wanna sing this song, wherever you are
Wherever (I will never lie again, Ooh)
I just want to let you know
that I will never lie again (I will never lie again)(I promise)
I will never lie again, Ooh
Cause you’ll always be my friend (you will always be)
I will never lie again (I will never lie)
Cause a friend like you, will last forever
Sittin’ in my window, I’m thinkin’ of you
All the fun things we used to do
I feel the pain, please come back to me
Cause a friend like you will only, come once in a lifetime
I will never lie again (I will never lie again)
Cause you’ll always be my friend (you’ll always be my friend)
I will never lie again ( I will never I will never lie)
Cause a friend like you, will last forever (last forever)
On the phone, when you were here
Laughin and jokin, cryin and sulkin
In my dreams, you’re still with me
Cause a friend like you only, comes once in a lifetime
I will never lie again (I will never lie)
Cause you’ll always be my friend (you’ll always be my friend)
I will never lie again ( I will never never lie)
Cause a friend like you, will last forever (last forever)
When I think of you, I think of someone special (Ooh)
And how it used to be, yeah
I know, you’ll always be my friend
I’m so sad it had to end, Oh yea baby
I will never lie again (Lie, don’tRiver of blue cut through the valley
Swept past the willows and the sandy bar
Ran so swift, locked in my mem'ry
But the way things were is not the way things are
We used to swim in the crook of its arm
In the summer heat who could be blamed
Avoided the rapids as best as we could
Never thought that that stream could be tamed
Long ago I gave up that riverside valley
Traded coulees for towers of steel
Abandoned the vistas and valleys of childhood
For the things that they told me were real
No more would I run with the speed of a colt
Cross the gravel down by water side
To race with the twig I threw in at the bend
Couldn't beat it though god knows I tried
Now the river's not running as fast as it did
There's a dam there restricting the flow
And I don't run either as fast as I could
Guess that river and I have grown old
Now it's strange in returning to places of youth
It seems your memory has made a mistake
Cause the place that once scared you with white water running
Has been turned by decree to a lake
Makes me think about how too I smoothed out the wrinkles
Made the waters as calm as you please
Makes me think about how that river and I
Were both happier when we ran free
Now the river's not running as fast as it did
There's a dam there restricting the flow
And I don't run either as fast as I could
Guess that river and I have grown old
Guess that river and I have grown old
