Shamandalie (Sonata Arctica)

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 now" 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, oh, 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 Now I have seen the light These memories make me cry "Can I ever have what I 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 days Can you forgive me? The love got better off me, On that day back in old times"
