Remember the nights we stayed out until dark
The songs we made up while we played in the park
Remember the names that we carved on the trees
And the free little gifts we got from the chinese
Remember defrosting bagettes in the dryer
and dipping some battered mars bars in the fryer
Remember the tricks we played on your kid brother
and the constant attempts to try fool your dear mother
Remember the day we met up after years
There was chatter and laughter and some happy tears
It was then that I knew we'd be friends til the end
For you are one person whom I can depend!
