I made this cover years ago, but it really needed a female voice.
It just so happens that I was talking to Lotus, a very good friend of mine.
We were in the same class back in the 6th grade.

I had her provide the voice on this one about a couple of years ago
and I really like the way it turned out.

So check out our cover of an old Filipino classic,
“Friend of mine” by Odette Quesada.

Lotus on the voice,
I do the music.

Lyrics start here:

-FRIEND OF MINE-
I’ve known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we’d ever be?
I’ve loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
And babe is this all we ever could be?

Refrain:
You tell me things I’ve never known
I’ve shown you love you’ve never shown
But then again, when you cry
I’m always at your side
You tell me ’bout the love you’ve had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you’ll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I’m glad

I’ve known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it’s gonna be
I’ve loved you then and I love you still
You’re a friend of mine
Now, I know friends are all we ever could be
