Sonata Arctica - Shamandalie Lyrics

In good old times, remember, my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes

We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?

"Can we ever have what we had then
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"

One cloudy day we both lost the game?
We drifted so far and away.
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes?

"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"

I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?

I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes of Shamandalie

Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain

You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die,
The years showed me the light
These memories make me cry

"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed
All those moments with you
And see the world with my wide open eyes

Friendship got broken,
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood day
Can you forgive me?
The love got better off me
On that one day back in old times"
