Lyrics
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
It ended a moment ago
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
I know, for your eyes told me so
We were always like sister and brother
Until tonight when we looked at each other
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
And just the beginning of love
