Story Behind The Song

Friendship

Lyrics

Together


Verse

We met as young lads in the full flush of youth
Full of wide eyed innocence and hope
Keen as mustard, never got flustered
Whatever befell us, we coped

Adolescence kicked in, we thought we could win
Any battle we had to face
A matter of pride to fight at each other's side
Together we'd run every race

Chorus



We have lived and loved and often lost
Acted for the worse not the better
But through it all no matter the cost
We've always done it together


We have known each other for so long
Even though we can't slow down time
The lifelong bond its still as strong
I'm your friend and you're still mine

Verse

Down through the years 'midst sadness and tears
We offered each other a shoulder
I'm proud to report we still offer support
If not over the hill we're much older

And now it appears we're in our Golden Years
But our feelings haven't changed in the slightest
I know who I'd call if ill fortune befalls
And you'd call me if you faced a crisis


Chorus



We have lived and lived and sometimes lost
Often acted for the worse not for the better
But through it all no matter the cost
We've always done it together


We have known each other for so long
Even though we can't slow down time
The lifelong bond its still as strong
I'm your friend and you're still mine




Final Verse

(Quiet)

So here's to us both though others are loathe
To express innermost feelings with fervour
I'm proud to say we're still doing it the same way
As we have always have.... together



Final chorus



We have lived and loved and often lost
Acted for the worse not for the better
But through it all no matter the cost
We've always done it together


We have known each other for so long
Even though we can't slow down time
The lifelong bond its still as strong
I'm your friend and you're still mine
