Forty-Five Hundred Times

There's nobody on the end of my line, I'm in time but somebody's missing
Maybe I can find a hand for my hand, if I find a well for my wishing
Be my friend, be my friend

It gets lonely on a table for two, laughing on your own can be no fun
Even people that are talking to you remind you that you're really with no-one
Be my friend, be my friend

Take me over like a thing from the past, lots of people wishing they'd been there
No-one knowing just how long it would last, but I'm sitting still here in my chair
Be my friend, be my friend
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Problems halved are the problems that we can share
White lies in our eyes, together not really there

Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Though it's taken a long time for you to see
Where we're at is the right place for us to be

I sure want to stay here, it sure feels fine
I feel I could be here a long long time
Now that I've made it, I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you

We came a long way, a slow way too
Up from the down way and back to you
Now that I've made it I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you
