THAT'S THE WAY OF FRIENDS

THAT'S THE WAY OF FRIENDS
PAUL PARRISH

You and me, we were getting to be such very good friends
With you and me, it was so hard to see how the story could end
With moons and Junes, half-remembered tunes, and a love that would not bend
Don’t people say that’s the way of friends.

Me and you, we were seeing it thru just two of a kind
With me and you so tried and so true, we were rhythm and rhymed
All the starry nights, early city lights love was just one step behind
Don’t people say that’s the way of friends.

Chorus:
On a trains and planes
Crowded freeway lanes
Can’t explain the way of friends.
And a silent telephone
Locked unhappy homes
Were just things that have never known
`Bout friends…
Friends

You and me, we were getting to be such very good friends
With you and me, that was so hard to see how the story could end
With these broken lines half-remembered rhymes and a love that would not bend
Don’t people say that’s the way of friends.

Don’t people say that’s the way of friends
Friends…
Friends.



It's very unusual for me to post songs here in my blog but just some stranger friend (that... is unusual hahaha) requested me to post the lyrics of this song since she is having a hard-time searching this one in the net. I wonder why this couldn't be found anywhere. Anyways, here's the lyrics of "That's The Way Of Friends" since you requested it.

Going back to the history of this, "That's The Way Of Friends" is actually the first song that I have memorized in my entire life. If I could remember it perfectly, I was 3 or 4 years old when I started singing this. My sister Onnie was the one who influenced me with this (and I remember hearing this from my sister Maricar, as well) and became the first radio song that I have ever sung when I was kid (that marks how old I am now hahaha).

I wonder... I have never really been thru nursery rhymes when I was a kid. I never really thought I was a kid when I was a kid. Hmmm.... retrogression in process.
