every once in a hile
i see a smile
it turns my day around

girl with those eyes
it can stare through the lines
and seewhat your heat was saying

think of aaliyah left
dont cry i know
she'd want it that way
when you think of aaliyah left
dont cry i know she'd want it that way

friend of a friend
friend 'til the end
thats the kind of girl she was
taken away so young
taken away without a warning

think of aaliyah left
dont cry i know
she'd want it that way
when you think of aaliyah left
dont cry i know she'd want it that way

i know you
and youre here
in everyday we live
i kno her
well she's her
i can feel her when she sings

aaliyah ,
where are you now
are you far away from here
i dont think so
i think youre here
taking our tears away
think of aaliyah left
dont cry i know
she'd want it that way
when you think of aaliyah left
dont cry i know she'd want it that way

i know she'd want it that way
i know she'd want it that way
i know she'd want it that way
i know she'd want it that way
