Friends Songtext
von Joan Armatrading

It′s been so long
Since I've seen you, my old friend
I remember your eyes, how they would shine
Those crazy times when you and I fooled around
I remember the time we fell in love
Didn′t know how to say goodbye to you, baby

You made me take a goodbye note around
And that little girl, she cried and cried
She asked me if I knew exactly why you'd gone
I told a lie, I said you felt
She'd be much happier with someone else
But then you′d do the same for me
Remember when you stayed out late
We′d cause a fight but we would never stay to the end


I loved you then, I love you still
You know I think I always will
You're a good friend, a good friend to me

Who was it, who was it, who was it, who was it
Cared for me when I was
Stranded in a bad, bad land?
Who was it, who was it, who was it
Who put up bail for me when I was
So desperate to get out?
Who believed with me that I was not guilty?
Who gave me beer when I was thirsty?
And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold?

I loved you then, I love you still
You know I think I always will
You′re a good friend, a good friend to me

For so long
