Best of Friends

We're the best of friends
Heart and soul
Head to head
Toe to toe
I'm not letting go

We're the best of friends
I thought you knew
That the best I am
Is beside you
We're a couple of comfy shoes

Oh together we're a pipe dream
All lit up and smoking
'Bout all the things we'll do
Oh together we are wishes
My aren't we delicious
Coming true

We're the best of friends
Are we wise
Thinning hair
Fuzzy eyes
Your face is my best surprise

We're the best of friends
I'm here to say
It was me and you
The whole darn way
Thanks for the chance to play

Oh together we are magic
Together we are mystery
I think we may have soul
Oh together the world is brighter
Lovers fools and fighters
On a roll

We're the best of friends
The drift the sway
The give the take
The day to day
A bit in each others way

And when it's time
To let you go
At the last
We'll always know
That it started long ago
With a simple quick hello
Hello we're the best of friends
