Lyrics

More Than A Lover

More than a lover
Don't you know
You'll always be
A good friend to me?

When tears are discovered
Don't you know
I'll always help
A good friend in need?

But what's done is done
So I sing to you
A song we left unsung
When you're falling down
And sometimes it seems
Too much to carry on
It's too much to carry on

More than a lover
Don't you know
You'll always be
A good friend of mine?

Where pain is uncovered
Will you walk with me
Through the burden
Of time?

But what's done is done
So I sing to you
A song we left unsung
When you're falling down
And sometimes it seems
Too much to carry on
It's too much to carry on

When you can't break away
And you find
Sorrow splits the sky
Twisting your heart inside
But there's nothing left to hide
Nothing left to hide

But what's done is done
So I sing to you
A song we left unsung
When you're falling down
And sometimes it seems
Too much to carry on
It's too much to carry on
It's too much to carry on

More than a lover
Don't you know
You'll always be
A good friend to me?
