lyrics

(Verse 1)
Sentimental me shows at the times I least expect
In thoughts, in words and deeds, or in a sermon I forget

trying not to take it all for granted (and haven't yet)
Who'd have thought we'd be without regret

(Prechorus)
And I know sometimes I can't recall exactly what was said
The simple phrase that I said to a dear friend

(Chorus)
And I hope you know I cherish all the years and time we spent
And you know that I still miss you and the world that we have shared
And I'm sure you know I wish you all the best of life ahead
And that you'll still be here with me, in the end

(Verse 2)
Though we don't see each other as often as we'd guessed
Life being the way it is, who has time for friends

But when we are together it feels no time has passed
We can pick up right there where we left....

(Prechorus)
And I know sometimes, amidst it all, I falter and forget
A simple phrase that I said to a dear friend

(Chorus)
And I hope you know I cherish all the years and time we spent
And you know that I still miss you and the world that we have shared
And I'm sure you know I wish all you the best of life ahead
And that you'll still be here with me, in the end

(Verse 3)
Just know I won't forget you, and all the times we've had
And maybe someday soon I will you again

And if we don't you're in my heart, and I'm in yours I bet
A simple phrase that I said to a dear friend

(Prechorus)
I'll do my best to see you, dear friend

(Chorus)
And I hope you know I cherish all the years and time we spent
And you know that I still miss you and the world that we have shared
And I'm sure you know I wish you all the best of life ahead
And that you'll still be here with me, in the end
