Suno AI (paid) No use without permission —————————————————————————— [Female vocal, warm intimate voice, emotional and sincere] [Intro] (xxmmmm, mmmmm-xm) [Verse 1] I once dreamed of a friendship from story pages, Someone I'd stand by through anything. Hold hands so tight through the fire and water, Together, we'd take on everything. Grow old and gray, side by side, growing slowly, Sip tea from cups as the years go by. Laugh till we cry over boys who'd pass by us, Who'd catch our eyes in passing — just a glance, no lie. [Verse 2] But life and family, circumstance, They rewrite the plans we made. I changed my schools faster than I could find A true friend who'd stay and not fade. Just when I found a soul that could echo mine, Just when the bookish vibe began to bloom — We're packing our bags again, Off to another city, another room... [Pre-Chorus] It's not what I wished for as a child, The storybook plot never came true. But then came real, honest maturity, And I saw a light breaking through. [Chorus] Old friend, Longtime companion, Closest and dearest to my soul. (My own...) Old friend, Longtime companion, You're with me, and I'm with you... (You hear?..) [Bridge] The older you grow, the more guarded you become, You search for that dream you once read. But sometimes you don't even recognize yourself, Taking empty souls for friendship instead. Recalling the faces, the moments now passed, I see him clearly at last — He doesn't have just one face... [Outro] A husband — my rock, my vest, my partner, [whispering, letting the last word bleed into the next line] (my rock, xm-mmmm, partner) Children — my anchor, my hope, my motor, [whispering, letting the last word bleed into the next line] (anchor, xm-mmmmm, motor) A sister — my childhood, my laughter, my lore. [whispering, letting the last word bleed into the next line] (childhood, xm-mmmmmm, lore) My friend was given from a higher hand. In every day, in every step I take... Right here, right now. Worth more than any storybook make. [Final Chorus] Old friend, Longtime companion, Closest and dearest to my soul. [whispering] (My own...) Old friend, Longtime companion, You're with me, and I'm with you... [whispering] (You hear?..)
