High above the city lights in a quiet bar we sit The music's soft the lights are low, the conversation's rich In candlelight we watch below as the town begins to sleep And up above the questions of love in the bar where we would meet
If friends are friends, and lovers love, where does that leave us The best of friends in the best of times but our love is still untouched It looks as if the candle light is beckoning a tear But we're just friends so where do we go from here
We talk about the times gone by, the good ones and the bad We talk about the things we did and all the friends we had You with him and I with her and how we got along Now here we sit in candle light when all the rest have gone
If friends are friends, and lovers love, where does that leave us The best of friends in the best of times, but our love is still untouched It looks as if the candle light is beckoning a tear But we're just friends so where do we go from here
If friends are friends then where do we go from here
