A thousand nights later memories linger   The good the bad...I can touch them with my finger   A thousand nights later I only got me   No problem, no complaints; It's the way it should be      Life was fast, It was free   Guess I've been lucky   Cause I'm still here...      But some friends are gone   Has it really been that long?   The memories are still so beautiful   When life's been unkind   Those friends are on my mind   Nothing's been greater here,   Nothing's been greater here   A thousand nights later      For some of them it's such a lonely thing   Haven't seen the future or luck life can bring   Their body dies while their soul defies to live   Haven't given all they'd like to give      Life is cruel, It is kind   Why is God calling them before their time?      But some friends are gone   Has it really been that long?   The memories are still so beautiful   When life's been unkind   Those friends are on my mind   Nothing's been greater here,   Nothing's been greater here   A thousand nights later      Can you see me from the sky?   Do you caress me when I cry?   Cause I know you're still with me for all eternity      But friends are gone   Has it really been that long?   The memories are still so beautiful   When life's been unkind   Those friends are on my mind   Nothing's been greater here,   Nothing's been greater here   A thousand nights later      Nothing feels greater here, Nothing feels greater here   A thousand nights later
