Lyrics
Wayne
Music & Lyrics by
Krisanthi Pappas
A: Wayne, do you realize how long it has been, wondered if I?d ever see you again,
Now it?s blowin? my mind, never thought I would find you again, I remember
Wayne, was a boy that I met in third grade, when I think of the jokes that we played,
We were trouble together, and buddies forever, oh Wayne,
B: So many years have gone by, are you the same tender guy
I once knew, my old friend.
C: Do you remember way back when, nobody knew how to pretend,
that they were any better, playing in our school shoes, getting by together then.
Do you remember way back when, our biggest thrill was turning ten,
and passing notes across the room just to tell me I would always be your friend.
A: Wayne, well one day I drove by your old place, and I wished I could smile at your face,
and run back to the playground to swing in my memory?s embrace, of my old friend
Wayne, do you realize how long it has been, wondered if I?d ever see you again,
Now it?s blowin? my mind, never thought I would find you again.
B: So many years have gone by, are you the same tender guy
I once knew, my old friend.
C: Do you remember way back when, nobody knew how to pretend,
that they were any better, playing in our school shoes, getting by together then.
Do you remember way back when, our biggest thrill was turning ten,
and passing notes across the room just to tell me I would always be your friend.
(Repeat Chorus)
