My oh my, time sure flies I like what you've done to your hair I've been fine, yeh these boys are mine That must be your little girl there Some friendships grow distant with time And it's no wonder, Emily, so much can change We're too far to visit, too busy to write But a closeness between us remains Best friends are made through smiles and tears And sometimes that fades over miles and years But I knew right away when I saw you again Emily, we'll always be friends I still sing now and then Mostly at weddings for friends And I just bet you still get A yearning to paint now and then They tore down our whole street Now there's a bank where the house was we shared back in school Remember we both have each other to thank For all the boyfriends we're not married to "Stay as you are and you'll go far" You signed my yearbook "Don't forget me when you're a big star" We can't stay, it's gettin' late And they said not to let you get tired We'll just be up the street The number's right here by your side Oh no, it's no trouble I don't want to hear about how all this changes my plans I'll see you tomorrow Call me tonight, Emmy, please let me do what I can Best friends are made through smiles and tears And sometimes that fades over miles and years But I knew right away when I saw you again Emily, we'll always be friends
