Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sneaking kisses in the hall
Parting love notes are on the wall
Been each other's all and all each day
Lovers walking in the rain
So close, we felt each other's pain
But now you say that love has died away
[Verse 2]
'Cause we've ended now as lovers
Doesn't mean that we, each other, can't be friends
'Cause we've ended now as lovers
Does our love for one another have to end?
[Verse 3]
I remember teaching you
On piano, Tea for Two
And how, when playing wrong, I kissed your hand
But when our love has gone and passed
Why does the good exceed the bad?
Well, that's one thing I'll never understand
[Verse 4]
'Cause I remember us in class
You always were the one to pass
And gave me answers, right, to see me through
But that was more than years ago
And who will love me? I don't know
It's sad, for sure, but true it won't be you
[Verse 5]
'Cause we've ended now as lovers
Doesn't mean that we, each other, can't be friends
'Cause we've ended now as lovers
Does our love for one another have to end?
[Verse 6]
'Cause we've ended now as lovers
Doesn't mean that we, each other, can't be friends
'Cause we've ended now as lovers
Does our love for one another have to end?
