I will never forget the years of '97 and '98,
The good times I had when I met someone great.
Although the years came quickly to an end,
I'm so very glad I found a good friend.
The days were so short and came to a stop,
I'll always treasure the times that we talked.
Words that were never spoken were deep in my heart,
I never wanted to tell you because I felt you would part.
These last few days are all I have with you,
Why I did not tell you all the things I wanted to.
I feel so sad you're going and gone,
There's nothing I can do, but to say, "So long."
For your future is as bright as can be,
When you become rich and famous, never forget me.
You're off to college to start your own life,
I'm here for you in your times of strife.
The first time I saw you, I was like,
"Oh my god!"
You looked so fine, your hot, sexy bod.
That cute innocent face I can never forget,
Why are there things I'll live to regret?
I wish I could change what happened in the past,
To have more time with you, to always make it last.
But no, these days are slipping out of my hands,
Like a bag with a hole of soft white sand.
The word sand brings memories I wish I could have,
A walk on the beach, my hand you would grab.
To have and to hold and never let go,
'Cuz I like you more than you'll ever know.
When you're gone, I'll be only thinking of you,
I'll picture your face so I won't turn sad and blue.
The phone will ring and my letters I'll send,
'Cuz all I want is to just be your friend.
