In good old times, remember my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
/ (Hit once, let ring)
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd... fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
Gsus4II [Ab]
If I had you beside me"
One cloudy day we both lost the game?
We drifted so far and away
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
/ (Hit once, let ring)
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes?
"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd... fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
Gsus4II [Ab] [Abm]
If I had you beside me now"

*Palm Mute*
I was un-able to cope with what you said
Some- times we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Fee-lings I had were but sham and a lie?
I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie
Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain

Love denied meant the friendship would die
Now I have seen the light
These memories make me cry
It's not as complicated as it looks):
"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd... fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
see the world with my wide open eyes
Friendship got broken
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood days
Can you forgive me?
Love's got better off me,
On that day back in old times"
