We Could Have Been the Closest of Friends - 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 the love

We could have been the closest 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

I could say you did me wrong

You could say you didn’t

And we could sit and hold our tongues

And act like little children

I could say you never really loved

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 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

Ohh oh

We could have been the closest 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

Oh, we could have been the closest
