Experience, my old friend ’Come to visit me again? Haven’t seen you for a while Did you come to bring me sunshine Or did you come to take my smile? Excuse me while I pour myself a drink Something smooth that lets me think Then I turned around And looked into her eyes Round sapphires that burn through Like ultraviolet rays from the sun Piercing through my skin Right Into my soul She’s got me Does she know it? Does the earth know The sun beholds it? Do the tides know The moon pulls on them? I know she loves me Does she know it? Experience, my old friend ’Come to visit me again? Haven’t seen you for a while Did you come to bring me sunshine Or did you come to take my smile? So I stood there Held her closer So I could love her And not hurt her But like a gentle breeze She swayed As she gently Pulled away And what began so sure I thought Now moves away From me As I awakened From this dream Yes you, experience My old friend You came to visit me Again But I should’ve known It then and now You’d break my heart Again somehow Experience… My old friend… You came around again Experience… My old friend… I should’ve known it then Sunshine fades The way memories do But after all this time My love stays strong for you Whoa, yeah… Whoa, yeah… My love stays strong for you
