Well, videotapes and ice skates are beautiful things， Like a birthday card for Johnny，And a pair of angel wings， You were tryna light a fire，And all you wanted was a match， But you knew I didn't have one，So it was odd that you should ask， No, it wasn't just the plane crash，That shook you to the core， But the very thought of losing her，That made it all worth dying for， I'm so - rry，I'm so - rry， We both washed up on that island，All alone without a friend， Thinking you and I were gonna die there，And that would be the end， But as the weeks turned into months，I saw you overcome your fears， And as we became companions，All those months turned into years， When we would talk and talk for hours，U would make sure I felt heard， 'Cause you knew what I was saying，Though I never said a word， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，I'm ready for anything， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Who knows what the tide could bring? Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Yeah, I'm ready for anything， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Who knows what the tide could bring? After fifteen hundred days，You and me escaped to sea， And I knew that you still loved the girl，From Memphis, Tennessee， Out there on that lonely ocean，We met a passing humpback whale， 'Cause all the way from Bakersfield，The tide gave us a sail， And just like that, it happened，The waves took me away， And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry，That you lost a friend that day， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，I'm ready for anything， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Who knows what the tide could bring? Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Yeah, I'm ready for anything， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Who knows what the tide could bring? -------- Well, you and me went on a journey，Full of tragedy and pain， But I'm grateful I was with you，Through the sunshine and the rain， And when I wonder where you are now，I'll probably never know， But my friend, I hope U made it，And somehow, U finally made it home， I have an ocean-worth of questions，But if I do know one thing， It's that the sun will rise tomorrow，And who knows what the tide could bring？ Da da da da da， (Goodbye, my friend, I'll never forget you)， Doo doo doo doo ooo ooo ooh， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，I'm ready for anything， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Who knows what the tide could bring? Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Yeah, I'm ready for anything， Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooh，Who knows what the tide could bring? I'm so - rry for everything, But no - body knows what the tide could bring， You know? Nobody knows what the tide could bring。 Videotapes and ice skates are beautiful things， Like a pocket watch on Kelly Time，And a pair of angel wings， Oh, and the birthday card to Johnny，It made me realize， That the most beautiful thing in the world，Is, of course, the gift of life， The most beautiful thing in the world，Is to be so wonderfully alive。
