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 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

Times 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?

Love got better off me,

On that day back in old times"
