Lovers And Friends Lyrics - Jimmy Somerville

All night you'd lay asleep 

enfolded in my arms, 

breathing slow and sweet. 

I never understood 

how it would prove to be 

such a luxury to feel 

your hand, warm in my hand 

your kiss onmy cheek. 

Lovers and friends 

are all that matter. 

You'll never know how much it 

came to mean to me 

to have you by my side 

in battles lost and won.

And now I understand 

these things can never be 

guaranteed. 

I wish I could recall 

each mundane tenderness, 

remember every look, each word, 

preserve every breath, 

each kiss, each caress. 

Lovers and friends 

are all that matter. 

I never thought that I would 

watch you drowning 

far from any sea, on crumpled sheets, 

white sand in your eyes.

Lovers and friends 

are all that matter. 

And now when all I have of you 

is a memory, 

I raise my hand to touch my cheek, 

imprinted with your love.
