So many times I've said, 'I'm sorry' 
Yet done the same again. 
I know my words would sometimes cut, 
Although I've called you friend 
Can I repay those special years, 
The friendship that you gave? 
No, I am but a simple fool 
And that's how I behave. 

Here's to you for the things you've done 
To make me who I am 
And though we touched but never kissed 
It was you who made me a man 
We shared our thoughts and fondest dreams 
At times, we'd laugh out loud 
You showed me that there's nothing wrong 
With shining in a crowd. 

I know that you were not perfect 
And sometimes, I was right 
People thought that we were lovers 
The way we would scream and fight 
Strange how as time passes 
The bad times all grow dim 
Fondly, I remember you 
And sigh, 'I miss you Kim' 

It's been so long, Oh how I long 
To hear from you again 
I hold you dear as a special friend 
The way it has always been 
And if you feel that you were wronged 
Or used as if a coat 
I want to say I'm sorry 
In this my final note 

How can I say I'm sorry 
When I don't mean a word I say 
Vincent and his 'Starry Nights' 
Are far from who I am 
A dreamer, poet, dancing fool 
A player in the band 
Now, I'm not sorry for who I am 
Or that we ever met 
Or sorry that we danced that dance 
On a night I won't forget 
But, how can I say I'm sorry 
When I don't mean a word I say?
