The Memory of a Good Friend

I love the sun I love the sea
I'd like to think that you were here with me
But people are seasons and seasons change
I'd like to think that you are still the same

Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend never dies
Between the lines of an aging face

Something special that you can't replace
But people are seasons and seasons change
I'd like to think that you are still the same

Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend never dies

And I see you standing by the harbour wall
And I see you waving from the aeroplane
Two hearts together laughing in the rain
