lyrics

[Words by Alison Pittaway, music by David A. Harley]

I said hello / and you cracked a smile,
I felt warm inside / just for a while.

Just two friends / back in the day,
No need for words then / [or at least it seemed that way]

We played and we laughed / as the world went spinning by
And time went faster then, / faster than we realized

There was no need for words / And no thoughts misunderstood.
You didn’t wait for an answer / And how I’d wished you would.

You’ve gone from me now, / Gone so far away.
But we were just two friends then, / Back in the day.

Oh, just two friends, / back in the day.
