Sometimes, lonely nights turn into sunny days I never thought I'd feel this way I never knew that you and I were meant to be in love Oh, darling, you've always been around to see me through. How was I to know you'd make my dreams come true? Time and time again before, always on our own But now we're friends in love Hoping that we'll always still be friends in love It's dawn and we're together Darling, now we got forever and day Don't you go away Remember every time you cried, you came to me Much to my surprise, I found someone to see Even nights of loneliness you were always there for me We're friends in love Hoping that we'll always still be friends in love It's dawn and we're together Darling, now we got forever and day Don't you go away You turned around, looked my way I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind I've loved you all along Ah, now we're leavin' yesterday behind We'll never be alone, we're friends in love Hoping that we'll always still be friends in love It's dawn and we're together Darling, now we got forever and day Don't you go away
