We Were Best Friends

Running around the big oak tree Playing tag and hide and go seek We always have the most fun together Nothing will ever pull us apart We were Best Friends Mom said that I had to go inside that night So we hugged and you ran home Mom wouldn't let me go out the next day Said we were gonna move far away I cried as I throw my things in a box I'll never see you again I'll miss you, dear friend As the years went by I never forgot about you Had your pictures all on my walls Went through High School and College Got married and moved even farther away 2 years later here I am, alone Got divorced when I found him cheating Lost my job, I have nowhere to go So here I sit Under our Oak Tree Holding your picture close to my heart Your still my best friend Out at a bar Spending my last $5 The bartender brings me my drink Seeing an old jukebox I decide to play our song I leave the picture on the bar When I turn to go back The bartender walks up behind me Looks me deep in the eyes It's like I know him He puts his hand on mine And whispers into my ear "We'll always be best friends!" "I remember we would run around the big oak tree Playing tag and hide and go seek We always had the most fun together Nothing could ever pull us apart We were Best Friends"
