Lyrics
Episode/Movie version
I close my eyes and I can see the day we met,
Just one moment and I knew:
You're my best friend, do anything for you.
We've gone so far and done so much
And I feel like we've always been together.
Right by my side through thick and thin,
You're the part of my life I'll always remember.
The time has come,
It's for the best, I know it.
Who could have guessed that you and I -
Somehow, someday, we'd have to say goodbye.
Full version
I close my eyes and I can see the day we met,
Just one moment and I knew:
You're my best friend, do anything for you.
We've gone so far and done so much
And I feel like we've always been together.
Right by my side through thick and thin,
You're the part of my life I'll always remember.
The time has come,
It's for the best, I know it.
Who could have guessed that you and I -
Somehow, someday, we'd have to say goodbye.
You've helped me find the strength inside
And the courage to make my dreams come true.
How will I find another friend like you?
Two of a kind, that's what we are,
And it seems like we were always winning.
But as our team is torn apart,
I wish we could go back to the beginning.
The time has come,
It's for the best, I know it.
Who could have guessed that you and I -
Somehow, someway, we'd have to say goodbye.
Somehow today, we have to say goodbye.
