I only knew you for a while I never saw your smile Till it was time to go Time to go away (time to go away) Sometimes its hard to recognise But comes as a surprise And its too late It's just to late to stay (to late to stay) [Chorus] We'll always be together However far it seems (love never ends) We'll always be together Together in electric dreams Because of the friendship that you gave Has taught me to be brave No matter where I go I'll never find a better prize (find a better prize) Though your miles and miles away I see you everyday I don't have to try I just close my eyes I close my eyes [Chorus]
