Remember when you told me
That you'd always be there
That you would never leave me
And that you'd always care

Remember how we felt back then
When we shared our first kiss
The special sparkle in our eyes
The tender loving bliss

Remember how we took long walks
Through the scenic park
How we made love together
Until the days fell dark

Remember all the trials
And all the smiles and all the tears
How we were always together
To calm each other's fears

Remember how we fell apart
And all the needless pain
And how the tears came crashing down
Like endless falling rain

Remember how you left
And how it hurt to say goodbye
And all the hopeless tears we shed
From all the times we cried

Now it's one year later
And we've gone our separate ways
What we once had together
Is a memory in the haze

Now we've both found another
And, to them, our love is true
Our days as one are over
And there's nothing we can do

We, to lovers, say goodbye
And now, to friendship, say hello
Our lives lead off in separate ways
And separate ways we both must go
