My Friend, My Friend

Matt Monro

Compositor: Hal Shaper / Domenico Modugno

My friend, my friend, if you could only see me
I'm lost amid the music and the wine
I only know I love you
Although the memory of you
Is all I've left to warm this heart of mine

My tender friend, I cry for all I ought you
My tears will never wash away the debt
Too late to say: Forgive
And every day I live
Will fill my cup with bittersweet regret

The dawn will soon be here
The Sun will kiss the sky
But will the pain have ended then?
And still I can't believe it
I never will believe
Your lips and mine will never meet again

My friend, my sweet forsaken love, forgive me
I never knew how bitter life would be
And if you could have know
How sad I'd be alone
You'd reach across the stars
And cry for me

And if you could have know
How sad I'd be alone
You'd reach across the stars
And cry for me
