You and me, best as friends can be,
Maybe a little more.
It was the start of a beautiful thing,
You never do know what's in store.

I believed in the magic of the fading sun,
The taste of sophomore year,
Falling in love with love,
Add a touch of sixth grade fear.
Me and you watching life go by,
Never knew what I thought was,
Just you being shy,

Is it now three years past… I'll still never forget,
Being swept away in the magic of the sunset.
I found that piece of heaven,
You showed me on a cold and starlit night,
I remember that rickety old bridge,
Sounded like it'd fall apart, you said to hold on tight.

I still believe in the magic of the fading sun,
The taste of Junior year,
I fell in love with love,
But couldn't nix that fear,
Of losing you, and having to say goodbye
And finding out, what I thought was,
Just you being shy,
That's one sensation I'll never forget,
It swept us away, the magic of the sunset.

Its crazy how life can go so fast,
And those little moments can fly away.
It's all over before you take the chance,
And suddenly, tomorrow is yesterday.

I still believe in the magic of the fading sun.
But that wasted senior year,
I fell in love with you,
Finally lost the fear,
Of losing you, and having to say goodbye
Inside I always knew, what I thought was you
just being shy,
That's one sensation I'll never forget,
It swept us away, the magic of the sunset.
