We used to run through fields, laughing wild and free In those golden days, just you and me Building castles in the sand, dreams we'd share Now the years have passed, but those memories are rare Time has taken us down different roads But in my heart, our friendship still grows No matter where life leads us to I'll always cherish the times with you My childhood friend, you'll always be A part of my heart, a part of me Though distance keeps us far apart You'll forever live within my heart We used to talk all night, secrets we'd confide In those endless summers, side by side Now the days have changed, and life moves fast But the bond we shared, it will always last Time has taken us down different roads But in my heart, our friendship still grows No matter where life leads us to I'll always cherish the times with you My childhood friend, you'll always be A part of my heart, a part of me Though distance keeps us far apart You'll forever live within my heart I hope you know, wherever you are You're still my brightest shining star Through the highs and lows, we'll always stay Connected by the memories we made My childhood friend, you'll always be A part of my heart, a part of me Though distance keeps us far apart You'll forever live within my heart No matter where life takes us, we'll never truly part You'll always be my friend, living in my heart
