Once we were friends
Close at the start
Then something happened
We drifted apart
You’re still living here
Deep in my heart
Where did you go
Where did I go
Why did we part
So many years ago
Building castles in the sky
Riding dragons we would fly
Growing older, growing up
Childhood fantasies denied
Left so far behind
I lost them over time
Where did you go
Where did I go
Why did we part
So many years ago
Sharing secrets in the night
Dreaming under stars so bright
Memories are still so strong
Locked away in my head
Has it really been that long
How can it have gone so wrong
Where did you go
Where did I go
Why did we part
So many years ago
Looking back through the tears
Remembering those happy years
Reaching out for your hand
Finding there is only air
It’s an illusion of my mind
Living still in my heart
Where did you go
Where did I go
Why did we part
So many years ago
