lyrics

It takes time to get to know some one
To learn to give and take
After all we’ve been through
I made the same mistakes
I know I take for granted
The friendship we create
Alas I didn’t realize
We’d meet our final fate
I’m gonna miss you my friend
I swore that I would be there until the very end
Never thought it would end at last I finally see
I like my life like my chocolate
Rich but Bittersweet
Bittersweet
Time goes by so quickly
When you are always on the run
Living life to its fullest
On the road having fun
Set your sites on the highest
Goal that can’t be found
Take time to make time
Alas we’re homeward bound
I’m gonna miss you my friend
I swore that I would be there until the very end
Never thought it would end at last I finally see
I like my life like my chocolate
Rich but Bittersweet
Bittersweet
Girl we’ve had our final meeting
Speak the truth with no lies
I drive you to the airport
To say our last goodbyes
Friendship is a quality
That no one can ignore
Something we all depend on
No matter rich or poor
I’m gonna miss you my friend
I swore that I would be there until the very end
Never thought it would end at last I finally see
I like my life like my chocolate
Rich but Bittersweet
Bittersweet
