Story behind the song
My sisters and I were close as kids and we grew apart as adults. Only now are we returning to that childhood.
Lyrics
My Long Lost Friend - Allen & Candie Payne
Verse 1:
Getting pushed around in school,
Man I hated it when you,
Showed up just in time to save my sorry butt.
Others may have laughed because you were a girl,
and no one realized you were my whole world.
Nobody tells you growin up's so hard to do,
So without thinking like a child you rush right through.
How I love it...when we go back in time,
Chasing memories of a life we left behind.
CHORUS:
Happy times are waiting there,
sitting in our ol' King's chair,
With the water rushing by,
and the dance of fireflys.
And I remember all the dreams we dreamed back then,
but now they're gone, so I'll move on,
Those days are gone...My long lost friend.
Verse 2:
Having kids and things are tough,
Can't find time to get in touch,
Maybe this summer we can pull it off again.
There's so many things to do.
Did you wanna come to us, or should we come to you.
Sodapop and creekbed rocks, are how we spent our days,
Lookin' back now, it's all just words upon a page.
You got your life and I got mine,
every summer we can go back to that time.
CHORUS:
Happy times are waiting there,
sitting in our ol' King's chair,
With the water rushing by,
and the dance of fireflys.
And I remember all the dreams we dreamed back then,
but now they're gone, so I'll move on,
Those days are gone...But not for long,
My long lost friend.
