I miss the look of surrender in your eyes,
The way your soft brown hair would fall.
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love,
Oh but baby most of all,
I miss my friend.

You won my heart and soul confided in,
The one I felt the safest with,
The one who knew just what to say,
To make me laugh again,
So let the light back in,
I miss my friend.

I miss the colours that you brought into my life,
Your golden smile, those blue green eyes.
I miss your gentle voice, lonely times like now,
Saying it'll be alright, I miss my friend.

You won my heart and soul confided in,
The one I felt the safest with,
The one who knew just what to say,
To make me laugh again,
So let the light back in, I miss my friend.

I miss those times, I miss those nights,
I even miss our silly fights,
The making up, the morning talks,
And those late afternoon walks, I miss my friend.

You won my heart and soul confided in,
The one I felt the safest with,
The one who knew just what to say,
To make me laugh again,
So let the light back in, I miss my friend.

I miss my friend.

I miss my friend.

I miss you.
