Lyrics
When we were young
We played together every day
Inseparable by friendship
As years went by
We stayed the same and he’s the closest one to me
Apart from, now, my wife
Twins they called us
The closest friend I had
I can’t believe he’s gone, won’t believe
He would make me smile
Every single day in a million different ways
He could tell jokes for the country
Now his life has gone and left me
And my soul has lost a brother
But the friendship that we had I’ll always see
In his eyes
When I met her
I was only twenty-one
And she was two years younger
She took my hand
One summer night and suddenly
I knew I’d found my heart
Five years later
I still need her so much
Her sweet and tender touch with me
She has golden hair
And eyes to melt the snow
Hands that touch my soul
She is all I wanted and dreamed
She would glance and I would stutter
She talks and I still mutter
And the pictures that she paints conveys the love
In her eyes
How will I live again
What if I can’t see them
Will my world close in around me
Maybe you would understand if you could see
In their eyes
