Half asleep, dreaming of a friendship Left to rot and drift and drain Trouble is, no one ever says Oh, I'll never see you again Years ago, in another lifetime Only you and I ever shared Who could have predicted the shape of our path? Oh I'll never see you again I tried to visit you sooner And if I'd had a sense of it sooner Telling me my best friend is gone and won't be back Sure, I'll never see them again Telling me my best friend is gone and won't be back Sure, I'll never see them again Passing through, last year heading East, we Thought of dropping in at your door We could not spare any time at all Oh I'll never see you again I wish I'd taken my chance Wish I hadn't left it to chance Telling me my best friend is gone and won't be back Sure, I'll never see them again Telling me my best friend is gone and won't be back Sure, I'll never see them again Sure, I'll never see them Sure, I'll never see them Sure, I'll never see them again
