Between us there are many miles
But we are never far apart
Cos miles will never change
The feelings in my heart

Distance only seems to make
The heart grow so much stronger
Our friendship goes the distance
I think in fact much longer

Whether side by side
Or many miles apart
Our friendship will always remain
Deep within my heart
