He could buy you a bed
It won’t help you sleep
He could give you a watch
Not his time to keep
He could fly you to Verona
Or a mountain in the snow
But he won’t know the places
That we used to go

I heard he’s best friend
With Hollywood now
He can afford
All the champagne in town
I heard he’s got a big house
Up on easy street
But I’ve got a big heart
That I want you to keep

My fair-weather friend
I wish you could see
He’ll never love you
Quite like me
He’ll sing you a sad song
Just like one of mine
But I know it won’t make you cry

Don’t you remember
The promise we made
As our shadows grew along
In the field where we lay
That you’d always be you
And I’d always be me
As the sun fell asleep
And so did we

My fair-weather friend
I wish you could see
He’ll never love you
Quite like me
He’ll sing you a sad song
Just like one of mine
But I know it won’t make you cry

My fair-weather friend
I wish you could see
He’ll never love you
Quite like me
He’ll sing you a sad song
Just like one of mine
But I know it won’t make you cry
I know it won’t make you cry
