My oh my, time sure flies
I like what you´ve done to your hair
I´ve been fine, yeah 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

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

"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 getting 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
