Lyrics

  1. We two were sweethearts
    But we said goodbye
    One with a handshake
    And one with a sigh
    We two were sweethearts
    By a sacred vow
    What are we now?
    What are we now?

Chorus:
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we’ve been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn’t the ending
Two friends drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
And suddenly love died
The story ends
And we’re just friends

  1. Where are the sun-beams
    That were in your eyes
    Sometimes I wonder
    If they, too, were lies
    We who were lovers
    Are now only friends
    That’s how it ends
    That’s how it ends
