Story Behind The Song
A boy meets a girl at University. A close friendship gradually develops, and they hang out together and socialise in the same group. They support each other through the hard work of studying and then the joy of graduation. Gradually the boy had fallen in love with this girl, but she didn't seem to be interested in anything more than friendship, and so he never admitted it to her. After graduation the friends go their separate ways, and his unrequited love fades into happy but distant memories of a girl he once knew. Until one day, years later, there is a knock at his door....

Lyrics
We used to walk and talk all the way to school
I used to make you laugh when I played the fool We gave each other help through graduation With nothing but smiles and conversation
We used to hang around with the guys we knew Just kicking our heals and shooting pool
Now was it just my imagination
Sensing a mutual admiration
Catching you glancing at me I wonder if you knew secretly
You're everything I want a woman to be Would you be more than a friend to me I've waited for you patiently
So would you be more than a friend to me
Then you went away made a brand new start
You followed your dreams but you broke my heart And suddenly everything I'd longed for
Was taken away and it was gone for ever
Oh why did you go
I need to let you know
You're everything I want a woman to be Would you be more than a friend to me I've waited for you patiently
So would you be more than a friend to me
Imagine my surprise after all these years
To open my door and find you standing here Discover we'd both been hurt by circumstance So let's not waste this chance
You're everything I want a woman to be Would you be more than a friend to me I've waited for you patiently
So would you be more than a friend to me
I love you girl it's plain to see
So would you be more than a friend to me I worshipped you endlessly
So would you be more than a friend
More than a friend to me
Oh baby I love you so.
