The Time Has Come
John Loeffler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes

And I can see

The day we met

Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend

'Do anything

For you

We've gone so far

And done so much

And I feel

Like we've always been together

Right by my side

Through thick and thin

You're the part of my life

I'll always remember

The time has come

It's for the best, I know it

Who could have guessed that you and I...

Somehow, someday

We'd have to say goodbye

You've helped me find

The strength inside

And the courage

To make my dreams come true

How will I find

Another friend

Like you

Two of a kind

That's what we are

And it seems

Like we were always winning

But as our team

Is torn apart

I wish we could go

Back to the beginning

The time has come

It's for the best, I know it

Who could have guessed that you and I...

Somehow, some way

We'd have to say goodbye...

Somehow today...





...we have to say goodbye
