My Funny Friend And Me
Sting Lyrics

In the quiet time of evening
During the peaceful moments of night

When the stars assume their patterns
When the constellations become visible

And the day has made his journey
And the day has come to an end

And we wondered just what happened
And we reflect on what has transpired

To the life we knew before the world changed
To our old way of living before things were different

When not a thing I held was true
When everything I believed was false

But you were kind to me and you reminded me
But you were compassionate and helped me remember

That the world is not my playground
That the world is not a game

There are other things that matter
Other things that are important

And when a simple needs protecting
And when something ordinary requires defense

My illusions all would shatter
My false beliefs would crumble

But you stayed in my corner
But you supported me

The only world I knew was upside down
What I knew became reversed

And now the world and me, I know you carry me
And now, you support me through life

You see the patterns in the big sky
You recognize the patterns in the sky

Those constellations look like you and I
Those stars seem like they depict us

Just like the patterns in the big sky
Just like the patterns in the stars

We could be lost, we could refuse to try
We could be uncertain or unwilling

But we made it through in the dark night
But we persisted even in the darkest of times

Would those lucky guys turn out to be
Would they have seemed this fortunate

But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me
But our unique combination of personalities

I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not as intelligent as I presumed

I'm not the boy I used to be because
I've changed from who I once was

You showed me something different
You revealed something new to me

You showed me something pure
You showed me something true

I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure
I always appeared confident but I was truly unsure

But you stayed and you called my name
But you supported and appreciated me

When others would have walked out on a lousy game
When others would have left the undesirable situation

And you could've made it through
And you could have succeeded on your own

But your funny friend and you
But we relied on our friendship

That tiny planet in a bigger guy
That small planet in the enormous galaxy

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
I'm unsure whether to react with joy or sadness

We'll be together ?til the end this time
We'll stay united until the very end

Don't know the answer or the reason why
We don't understand the rationale or explanation

We'll stick together till the day we die
We'll remain together until the end of our lives

If I had to do this all a second time
If I had to repeat my life events

I won't complain or make a fuss
I wouldn't whine or protest

When the angels sing that that unlikely blend
When the angels celebrate our unlikely combination

Are those two funny friends, that's us
They are describing our friendship
