Playing a role, that easy, but being yourself, that's a challenge.

When I look at you
All I can see
Are memories
Green grass memories
When we could touch the sky
without leaving ground
When the world was big
and clean
Only for us
And our unlimited
Imagination

 

When I look at you
The memories come flooding back
When we were young
when we were free
When had all we wanted
and still were free

 

When I see your face
The only things I
can remember
are the good things
When the trees were our roof
and the grass was our bed
The beautiful blue sky
was our blankets
When everything was big
and new
and wonderful

 

When I look at you
The memories come flooding back
When we were young
when we were free
When had all we wanted
and still were free

 

But that’s gone now
and I can’t believe my eyes
My best friends grown up now
Right before my eyes
He’s taller
and bigger
But nothing has changed
He’s still my best friend
And even if things change
And never are the same
I know that we’ll still
be together
because

 

When I look at you
The memories come flooding back
When we were young
when we were free
When had all we wanted
and still were free

 

When I look at you
The memories come flooding back
When we were young
when we were free
When had all we wanted
and we still had our wings
We were free
And we soared away
Soared away
Away

I wrote this song about me and my first best friend, and also how a true best friend can't ever really fade away.
