Long Lost Friend
Restless Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone touched my heart and soul, my life
You and I were meant to be
Was I just too blind to see the light in your eyes
Long lost friend
So good finding you again
I curse the fool I've been
Though I lost my way
You've been strong enough to stay
Faithful to the end
Long lost friend
Seasons change and people too
I'm so glad that I had you out there
Through the rise and through the fall
Even when I'd lost it all, you cared like no one else
Long lost friend
So good finding you again
I curse the fool I've been
For drifting away from you
Though I lost my way
You've been strong enough to stay
Faithful to the end
Long lost friend
Though I lost my way
You've been strong enough to stay
Faithful to the end
Long lost friend
So good finding you again
I'll be faithful to the end
Long lost friend
