Dear Friend

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"How are you? how have you been"
Cause I have undoubtedly missed you
All these years of acting like strangers
I know you're married now
It took a little while to get this out
But I am truly happy for you
I hope you found your one and only love
See, I′ve been sitting here wondering why
Things come and go
I guess I might never know
Dear long lost friend, I miss you now
And I still got love for you
It feels like it never goes
All that good time memories
Woohoohoo.
We'll be dancing all night long singing
Woohoohoo.
I know everything's changed but I count
1, 2, 3 and I can go back there
But don′t think I sit and wait
I moved on and found somebody
Sometimes I just think upon a night just like tonight when
I′ve been sitting here wondering why
Things come and go
I guess I might never know
Dear long lost friend I miss you now
And I still got love for you
It feels like it never goes
All that good time memories
Woohoohoo.
We'll be dancing all night long singing
Woohoohoo.
I know everything′s changed but I count
1, 2, 3 and I can go back there
I decided to write a small little song for you
Words stick to my tongue can't talk like you do
Dear long lost friend I miss you now
And I still got love for you
It feels like it never goes
All that good time memories
Woohoohoo.
We′ll be dancing all night long singing
Woohoohoo.
I know everything's changed but I count
1, 2, 3 and I can go back there
The song "Dear Friend" by Masumi is a nostalgic and heartfelt tribute to a long-lost friend. The lyrics express a sense of regret for lost time and a desire to reconnect, despite the fact that the two have been living separate lives for years. Masumi sings about missing her friend, and how she still holds onto the memories of the good times they shared. She wants to reach out and say "hello," but at the same time, she acknowledges that things have changed, and they may never recapture what they had before. Masumi even mentions that she has moved on and found someone else, implying that her friend may have done the same. Yet, the emotional connection between them remains, and the song is a way for Masumi to commemorate the friendship and express her ongoing love and support.
One of the most interesting aspects of this song is how it captures the bittersweet feelings of reminiscing about old friends. Masumi's lyrics are simple yet profound, and her performance is heartfelt and earnest. The melody is upbeat and catchy, which adds a layer of joyfulness to the nostalgia. Perhaps the most captivating element of "Dear Friend" is that it taps into a universal experience - the feeling of wanting to reconnect with a long-lost friend - and turns it into a beautiful piece of music that speaks to listeners across generations and cultures.
