Friends Lyrics

Artist: John Michael Montgomery (Buy John Michael Montgomery CDs)
Album: Greatest Hits

(Jerry Holland)

You say you want to be friends
That's a newly sharpened blade
That's a dagger to the heart
Of the promises we made
That's a chapter full of pain
A season full of rain
A dark and stormy night
Spent all alone

Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
But you wanna be
Just friends

You say you love me very much
And you'll always hold me dear
Those are the sweetest words
I never want to hear
What's a love without desire
A flame without a fire
Can't warm me late at night
When I need you most

Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
But you wanna be
Just friends

Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
Darling can't you see
This is killing me
We could never be
Just friends

I love how it is something that happens in real life.

I heard this song in 1996. I fell in love with a girl in '88 never forgot her. The song expressed my feelings to a "T".

Met the girl again in '09. Still crazy about her. She still wants to be, "just friends":( Replay the song!
