THE SEE-SAW LADDER,
OH WHAT FUN
THAT IS THE DAY,
OUR FRIENDSHIP BEGUN

ON THE OLD QUILT
WE HAD FUN PLAYING WITH CARS,
OR RIDING OUR BIKES WAY TOO FAR
SOMETIMES WE WOULD GET OUR BARBIE'S OUT,
BUT CLIMBING A TREE
WAS MORE FUN...NO DOUBT

OH... WHEN WE HEARD
THERE WAS A "FAB FOUR",
OUR WORLD HAD CHANGED
FOR EVER MORE

I REMEMBER THE HOUSES
THAT WAS BEING BUILT,
WE CHECKED THEM OUT
WITH NO GUILT
A DREAM HOME...IT WOULD BE,
ONE FOR HER, AND ONE FOR ME

SOMETIMES OUR TALK WAS FOREIGN,
WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE SAYING
OTHERS COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
BUT IT WAS JUST US....PLAYING

ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS,
WE WOULD MEET HALF WAY
EITHER I TO HER HOUSE,
OR SHE TO MINE WE WOULD STAY

WE FOUND A PLACE
ALONG OUR WAY,
"ROCK SHELL BEACH"
IT IS CALLED TO THIS VERY DAY

SPENDING THE NIGHT WITH EACH OTHER
FOR US...WE HAD 2 MOTHERS,
UP LATE WE STAYED
OUR TALKING WAS DEEP,
I CAN HEAR THE PARENTS NOW
STOP TALKING, AND GO TO SLEEP!

HOW DID WE KEEP
THIS FRIENDSHIP SO TIGHT?
JUST READ THE NEXT VERSES
AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE LIGHT

I CAN TALK TO HER ABOUT ANYTHING,
SHE KNOWS AS WELL SHE CAN DO THE SAME
WE CAN TELL EACH OTHER THINGS
WE KNOW WILL NOT GET TOLD,
FOR THAT REASON
MY FRIEND IN MY HEART I HOLD

IT IS SOMETHING WE SHARE,
IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN
IT IS LIKE SUNSHINE
PEEPING THROUGH THE RAIN
THE SUN WILL DRY UP ALL MY TEARS,
FOR MY FRIEND, SHE REALLY CARES

KEEPING IN TOUCH,
IS SOMETHING WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE
WHETHER TO TALK ABOUT
IMPORTANT THINGS
OR JUST OUR TALK BEING FUN

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE,
THIS "BEST" FRIEND OF MINE
HOW CLOSE WE HAVE BEEN,
FOR SUCH A LONG TIME
