We’re Still Friends (Live at the Bitter End, New York City, 1971) Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
This is a little song about a couple that was in love
And they had to break up
And they ran into each other on the street one day
And here's the conversation

[Verse 1]
Hello, friend
How has it been?
Ain't it wonderful
You've got a friend
Though we've changed in our endeavors
I found we still some things in common

[Chorus]
Ain't it strange but wonderful
That we're, we're still friends

[Verse 2]
Through our hearts, we've never parted
But through our living
We're friends through friendship all
And the way we are when we're together
Lets us know that we still love one another

[Chorus]
Ain't that strange, but wonderful
That we're, we're still friends, yeah
[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ain't it strange but wonderful
That we're, we're still friends

[Outro]
Hello, friend
How has it been?
Ain't it wonderful
You, you got a friend, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You got a friend, yeah

Genius Annotation

This song is so smooth man and that electric guitar on it is so hard. This song is very deep, the lyrics are very easy to understand what Donny is saying here. Glenn Watts helped Donny write this song by the way. A couple has been in a relationship and the two breaks up and see eachother one day and let eachother know that they are still friends even though they broke up, they’ll still remain cool even though they had a bad break up
