Friends That I Once Knew

Looking over my shoulder All the years slip away And I'm back with the old crowd As though it was yesterday If I could go back for a moment I would go back and I'd say, you're still In my heart and I miss you To the friends that I once knew All the music we played And the love that we made When each day held a summer sky We were carefree and free Who we wanted to be And we thought we could never die Nothing can last forever All things must pass away We were all there together That day when our skies turned to grey In the days of our youth We thought we knew the truth And our dreams would all come true Never thought it would end All our sorrows would mend With the friends that I once knew Your candle is still burning Your memory is still strong, But I am barely learning To live without your song All the music we played And the love that we made And each day held a summer sky We were carefree and free Who we wanted to be And we thought we could never die All the laughter and fun All the blue skies and sun And all the things we'd do All the love that we shared And how we showed we cared For the friends that I once knew
