In the quiet time of evening

When the stars assume their patterns

And the day has made his journey

And we wondered just what hapened

To the life we knew before the world changed

When not a thing I held was true

But you were kind to me

And you reminded me...

That the world is not my playground

There are other things that matter

And when a simple needs protecting

My illusions all would shatter

But you stayed in my corner

The only world I knew was upside down

And now the world and me, I know you carry me



You see the patterns in the big sky

Those constellations look like you and I

Just like the patterns in the big sky

We could be lost we could refuse to try

But we made it through in the dark night

Would those lucky guys turn out to be

But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me



I'm not as clever as I thought I was

I'm not the one I used to be because

You showed me something different

You showed me something pure

I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure

But you stayed and you called my name

When others would have walked out on a lousy game

And you could've made it through

But my funny friend and me



You see the patterns in the big sky

Those constellations look like you and I

That tinny planet and a bigger guy

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry



Just like the patterns in the big sky

We'll be together 'til the end is nigh

Don't know the answer or the reason why

We'll stick together till the day we die



If I had to do this all a second time

I won't complain or make a fuss

When the angels sing

That that unlikely blend

Are those two funny friends

That's us
