Lyrics

We were the best of friends at 17
yours was my second home
If you weren't there when I stopped by
I'd visit your folks on my own
We went together to the prom,
hung out at Singing Beach
While both of us can see that moon
We are never out of reach

[chorus]
It was like a dream, my time with you,
Were we twins from different shores?
You had a way of seeing me no-one ever had before.
Could have been some other lifetime
and you know I could have swore,
the way I know you, you know me too
don't make sense unless it's true
that we've been friends before.

[verse 2]
I went south and you went north
into a great wide world
we each chose our helping roles
and danced as life unfurled
At 24 I got married
and soon a family grew
You also found a parnter
so it goes, and dreams go too

[chorus]
It was like a dream, my time with you,
Were we twins from different shores?
You had a way of seeing me no-one ever had before.
Could have been some other lifetime
And you know I could have swore
the way I know you, you know me too
don't make sense unless it's true
that we've been friends before.

[bridge]
Oh there are families we are born to
the foundation of our days
and kindreds formed in myster
knit with threads we cannot see
and known in other ways

[verse 3]
50 years now come and gone
we gathered for a meal
We turned the dream o'er in our hearts
a mystery unrevealed
Yet again we said farewell
glad for what we knew
this dream we share is always there
whatever we may do.

[Final Chorus]
It was like a dream, my time with you,
Were we twins from different shores?
You had a way of seeing me no-one ever had before.
Could have been some other lifetime
And you know I could have swore
the way I know you, you know me too
don't make sense unless it's true
that we've been friends before.
friends before
Yeah we've been friends before
