I don't know where or how to start   to cover the years that we spent apart   you're way out west and I'm in the east   on the phone at best small talk at least   and it breaks my heart   oh, how we've drifted apart      you and I were thick as thieves   the best of friends that could ever be   but time flies by and it's in the breeze   just a shoebox full of memories   and it breaks my heart   oh, how we've drifted apart      I'll never forget your kind brown eyes   or the fingerprints you left all over my life   still it breaks my heart   oh, how we've drifted apart   oh, how we've drifted apart   oh, how we've drifted apart
