Verse1: They were friends and they were lovers
Mixing moonlight till they discovered
So unexpected and out of the blue
One heart and one body blended from two
Chorus: Lovers and friends, their story begins
Letters start with love that they send
A vintage love is tasted and swallowed
Living for love every day and tomorrow
BRIDGE: Then their love unwinds ‘cause they need some space and time
And steal away the very things that keep their love alive
Lovers and friends, up in the air, uncertain and unaware
Nearing the end, they jump from the deep end
Wondering will they ever be friends again
Chorus: Lovers and friends don’t want to end
Staring at letters they’re afraid to send
A vintage love was tasted and swallowed
Two hearts and their bodies both have been borrowed
MUSICAL BRIDGE:
Verse2: Lovers and friends reaching the end
Their lonely journeys begin again
Haunted by dreams of what might have been
‘Cause they had a love that never should end
Chorus: Lovers and friends walk in the park
They stroll in the sun, but they live in the dark
Till they learn that forgiveness can turn love around
And all that was lost is suddenly found … again
And they become lovers and friends
And they become lovers and friends, again
And they become lovers and friends, again
Again, and again and again and again
