ONLY FRIENDS Recorded by: The Lettermen
Time, only time can erase the memory of our love
And all those dreams that won't come true.
Yesterday I walk the streets, today I run in disbelief
From the memory of losing you.
Yesterday when we were young
Our love was new and we had fun
Playing games and wondering what to do.
Now yesterday is gone for me
And all I have are memories of loving
And then somehow losing you.
Sometimes I let my mind drift endlessly
And in the wind your face I see
Smile gently as you turn to pass.
But the love that I once had for you is gone
And so's the meaning too.
I guess it really never had a chance to last.
And if in your mind someday you see me running
through your memory
Don't be afraid to turn and look my may,
Cause I'll be there for just a while
To catch the sunshine of your smile
To last me for another day.
And if someday some new love
Asks about your love,
About your past, please tell him that
You and I were only friends....
OPEN ARMS Recorded by Journey
Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together, we drifted apart
And here you are by my side
So, now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So, here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms...
Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So, now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So, here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms...
OPERATOR (THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT FEELS) (Jim Croce)
Recorded by Jim Croce (1972)
Operator, oh could you help me place this call
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's livin' in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
But that's not the way it feels
Operator, oh could you help me place this call
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eye's
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me
Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Operato,r oh let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk you
Thank you for your time
Oh you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime
Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
