I was hoping that you'd stay But I know you're sleeping now, sleeping with the waves You didn't love yourself, but you loved everyone else Said the letter on the shelf Your memory will live, live throughout the years For you my dearest friend, I'll shed the silent tears I'd hold you in my embrace, but you are not around For you my dearest friend, I'll scream without a sound Your memory will live, live throughout the years For you my dearest friend, I'll shed the silent tears I'd hold you in my embrace, but you are not around For you my dearest friend, I'll scream without a sound I was hoping that you'd stay But I know you're sleeping now, sleeping with the waves
