Lyrics

We used to walk and talk all the way to school
I used to make you laugh when I played the fool
We gave each other help through graduation
With nothing but smiles and conversation

We used to hang around with the guys we knew
Just kicking our heals and shooting pool
Now was it just my imagination
Sensing a mutual admiration
Catching you glancing at me
I wonder if you knew secretly

You're everything I want a woman to be
Would you be more than a friend to me
I've waited for you patiently
So would you be more than a friend to me

Then you went away made a brand new start
You followed your dreams but you broke my heart
And suddenly everything I'd longed for
Was taken away and it was gone for ever
Oh why did you go
I need to let you know

You're everything I want a woman to be
Would you be more than a friend to me
I've waited for you patiently
So would you be more than a friend to me

Imagine my surprise after all these years
To open my door and find you standing here
Discover we'd both been hurt by circumstance
So let's not waste this chance

You're everything I want a woman to be
Would you be more than a friend to me
I've waited for you patiently
So would you be more than a friend to me

I love you girl it's plain to see
So would you be more than a friend to me
I worshipped you endlessly
So would you be more than a friend
More than a friend to me

Oh baby I love you so.
