And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when we turn twenty five I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year, we won't be coming back No more hanging out 'cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now 'cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love But it came too soon And there was me and you And then we got real cool Stay at home talking on the telephone with me We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever So if we get the big jobs And we make the big money When we look back now Will our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school Still be trying to break every single rule? Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan? I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever La, la, la, la Yeah, yeah, yeah La, la, la, la We will still be friends forever Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow (somehow)? I guess I thought that this would never end And suddenly it's like we're women and men Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round? Will these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever
