Lyrics When We Were Friends - CeeLo Green

So many nights, i've lied awake
Thinking of the time it takes to grow up
Listening to everything our parents say
They know will bring us fortunes
I know i've waited for this forever i know it
But now it's here and i am scared to go out on my own
And i pray that you will be
With me forever and ever right here by my side
Holding me closer and closer
And if we separate please don't forget the days
When we were friends when we were friends
Time flies by so fast you notice you forget
The most important things in life
We make mistakes throughout our time
We forgive those who cause us strife and harm us
I'm here and now i'm wishing we were little kids again
And we could be as carefree as when we first met
And i pray that you will be
With me forever and ever
Right here by my side
Holding me closer and closer
And if we separate please don't forget the days
When we were friends when we were friends
Here we stand with our future in our hands
We'll decide our fate and make our plans
It's not goodbye but see you later
Look forward to and please wait to meet again
The memories we've made will be in my heart don't forget me
I'll miss you
I've learned so much being with you
I hope you feel the same way too
Though time will pass our love will last
A lifetime through and throughout
And i pray that you will be
With me forever and ever right here by my side
Holding me closer and closer
And if we separate please don't forget the days
When we were friends when we were friends
