Until Then

I confess after so many years. Surprise at the words, shock at the tears

One surprised, the other one panicked

The silence seems eternal, I can’t stand it

I must leave. I just need to get away. Just then, you ask me to stay

That’s when our life together begins

But Until Then, I get to be your friend

But Until Then, I get to be your friend

Midnight lifelines, perfect coffee every time

Each one causes change; the stars are rearranged

Broken hearts march on arm in arm. Strength in comfort causes no alarm

Unexpectedly, one blessed day, you look in my eyes

And finally say, “I never want this to end.”

But Until Then, I get to be your friend

But Until Then, I get to be your friend

I’m funny, don’t you think? To dream about you and me

I have no other choice. Love you with silence or lose you with voice

So, Until Then, I get to be your friend

So, Until Then, I get to be your friend

So, Until Then, I get to be your friend

So, Until Then, I get to be your friend
