We Could Have Been the Closest of Friends Songtext
von Sammy Davis Jr.

Well, there you are and here am I
We are what we decided
Alone behind a wall of pride
Hopelessly divided
We had so much together, baby
What got into us?
How could we just call it quits?
We should have called for love

We could have been the closest (closest of friends) of friends
We might have been the world′s greatest lovers
But now we're just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends


Now I could say you did me wrong
And you could say you didn′t
Or we could sit and hold our tongues
And act like little children
I could say you never really loved me
And you could say the same
But if it's really over
Then who cares who was to blame?

We could have been the closest (closest of friends) of friends
We might have been the world's greatest lovers
But now we′re just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends

Closest of friends
We might have been the world′s greatest lovers
But now we're just, we′re just without each other
We could have been the closest of friends
