He could buy you a bed, it won't help you sleep
He could give you a watch, not his time to keep
He could fly you to Verona or a mountain in the snow
But he won't know the places that we used to go
I heard he's best friends with Hollywood now
And he can afford all the champagne in town
I heard he's got a big house up on easy street
But I've got a big heart that I want you to keep
My fair-weather friend, I wish you could see
He'll never love you quite like me
He'll sing you a sad song just like one of mine
But I know it won't make you cry
Don't you remember the promise we made?
As our shadows grew long in the field where we lay
That you'd always be you and I'd always be me
As the sun fell asleep and so did we
My fair-weather friend, I wish you could see
He'll never love you quite like me
He'll sing you a sad song just like one of mine
But I know it won't make you cry
My fair-weather friend, I wish you could see
He'll never love you quite like me
He'll sing you a sad song just like one of mine
But I know it won't make you cry
I know it won't make you cry
