[Verse 1]
All year round, you
Don’t even know your name
My sweet silent little shadow
Can float up and just stare

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder, can you see all the way through to my box of you?
On through this plane
Through the walls like cellophane

[Chorus]
Little friend
Light is shining twice as bright
Little friend
If I could I’d buy your time

[Verse 2]
Ooh, I can understand you
But I can’t stand anyone
Outside, days are getting longer
Fall asleep in a slice of sun

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder, can you see all the way through to my box of you?
On through this plane
Probably more than I can explain
[Chorus]
Little friend
Light is shining twice as bright
Little friend
If I could I’d buy your time

[Verse 3]
Your eyes looking through the darkness
Of a dream where I know the ghosts
Stay up, huddling under starlight
Just a little thing that glows

[Pre-Chorus]
All through time
Written on a valentine

[Chorus]
Little friend
Light is shining twice as bright
Little friend
If I could I’d buy your time

[Bridge]
Gold eyes see through the dark
Those eyes see through the dark
Your eyes see through the dark
Gold eyes see through the dark
[Chorus]
Little friend
Light is shining twice as bright
Little friend
If I could I’d buy your time

[Outro]
Little friend
Little friend
Little friend
Little friend
