As the leaves fall away In the distance children play A boy and girl together in the sand They will live learn and grow In there heart mind soul Gaining strength a woman or a man Pre chorus: No real reason they left you No helping hand when you need one There's no one in your corner you're incomplete Chorus: What ever happened to friends Right by your side till the end What ever happened to friends You can trust forever They all come back in the end Line up again and again What ever happened to friends Sharing time together Like a river filled with rain Life is oh so full of change Be yourself and you'll be in demand Several years down the line We all separate in time In the end you'll count your true friends on one hand
