Lyrics
- 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
- 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
