There is really nothing left to say
Yet so many words unspoken
You and I both know that I am going away
Keep the bridges open
The least we can do is take comfort in knowing
I'm going in capable hands
Chorus:
So cross your heart and make a pact
Promise not to take it back, friends
He recalls the morning that she moved in
He was four years old
A girl in the neighbourhood, I just can't win
She'll simply have to go
But it wasn't long before they became strong
Stood together through thick and through thin
Chorus:
He said, cross your heart and make a pact
Promise not to take it back, friends
They don't know what happened
they were too busy laughin'
One day they turned 49
She said you're still a handsome man and I can still
remember when
We slipped away that night
Like the wind on the ocean, we took a notion
To seize the moment and run
We danced through the years,
lived out dreams and through tears
And we never stopped lovin' not once
In a quiet room in Calgary
an old man bends down on his knees
Her eyes fall closed
He lays his hand upon her hair and softly whispers
Do you really have to go
The next time we meet you'll be young and as free
As the day that this whole thing began
Chorus:
So I'll cross your heart and make a pact
Promise not to take it back, now and forever
Friends
Yet so many words unspoken
You and I both know that I am going away
Keep the bridges open
The least we can do is take comfort in knowing
I'm going in capable hands
Chorus:
So cross your heart and make a pact
Promise not to take it back, friends
He recalls the morning that she moved in
He was four years old
A girl in the neighbourhood, I just can't win
She'll simply have to go
But it wasn't long before they became strong
Stood together through thick and through thin
Chorus:
He said, cross your heart and make a pact
Promise not to take it back, friends
They don't know what happened
they were too busy laughin'
One day they turned 49
She said you're still a handsome man and I can still
remember when
We slipped away that night
Like the wind on the ocean, we took a notion
To seize the moment and run
We danced through the years,
lived out dreams and through tears
And we never stopped lovin' not once
In a quiet room in Calgary
an old man bends down on his knees
Her eyes fall closed
He lays his hand upon her hair and softly whispers
Do you really have to go
The next time we meet you'll be young and as free
As the day that this whole thing began
Chorus:
So I'll cross your heart and make a pact
Promise not to take it back, now and forever
Friends
