THE BEST OF FRIENDS
(Mimi Fariña)

We may not always be the best of lovers
But if you leave it to me, I think I can see
We'll always be
The best of friends.

And one day, when I am old and on the porch,
With knittings around my knees,
You'll hear me say, "Excuse me, please,
But aren't you the one, and wasn't it fun
Way back when?"

Or maybe in a year, you'll reappear
And if that should come true,
I'd throw my arms around you,
And watch you smile, just for a while,
Once again.
[instrumental break]


We may not always be the best of lovers
But if you leave it to me, I think I can see
We'll always be
The best of friends.
La, la, la, la…
The best of friends.
La, la, la, la…(fade)
