the years passed me by
so many things i wanted to do
somehow along the way
i forgot about you, i forgot about you

meet with weep and play
meet with love and hate
i didn't find the time
now i hope it's not to late...
...it's not to late...

(ref)so can we be friends
can we be friends
after all that we been through
noone knows me like you do
can we be friends again
you can always count on me (always count on me)
always count on me
we will be friends

as i grow older
i start to realize
that lovers come and go
but a friend is there for life
(yes a friend is there for life)
i come with open arms
and eyes that wanna see
somethings were ment to last
like the times between you and me
(tt's not too late)

(ref)so can we be friends again (can we be friends again)
after all that we been through
noone knows me like you do
can we be friends again
you can always count on me (always count on me)
always count on me
we will be friends forever

i tried to make it on my own
(all by myself)
looking back i don't know why
(i don't know why)

when there's someone to lean on
(in these desperate times)

(ref)so can we be friends again (can we be friends again)
after all that we been through
can we be friends again
you can always count on me (always count on me)
always count on me
we will be friends aga
