TV Version

Will you miss me
When I’m gone?
Will you remember
All the good times we’ve had?
The hardest thing
About leaving
Is saying goodbye...

Sailor Moon: Ooh! It’s freezing!
Sailor Venus: This is way colder than when we fought Queen Beryl.
Sailor Mars: Try not to think about it.

We’ll always be
The greatest of friends!
I’ll miss you
More than I can say

Amy: Huh? Rini, Darien; what are you doing here?
Rini: Ha-ha-ha-ha. Kitty power! Make a gift for Amy!

And when I dream,
I’ll just dream about you
I’ll be only a memory away.

Rini: Don’t forget me, kay?
Amy: Thank you.
Darien: This one’s from Serena; and the girls.
Amy: They shouldn’t have.
Rini: Go on, open it. You know, I told them you were leaving, but they wouldn’t come. Not very good friends.
Amy: What do you mean?
Rini: Well, if they were such good friends, wouldn’t they be here to say good-bye? Some friends! And that puny gift. Probably something cheesy from the drugstore.
Amy: No, I’m glad they’re not here. It’d be too sad.

We’ll always be
The greatest of friends!
I’ll miss you
More than I can say

Rini: But you’ll be gone for a long time. Who knows when you’ll get to see each other again?
Amy: We can talk on the Internet. And there’s always holidays.
Rini: But we’ll still miss you.
Amy: And I’ll miss you guys too, Rini. But it’s just better this way.

And when I dream,
I’ll just dream about you
I’ll be only a memory away.

Rini: Well hurry up and open it! You’re gonna miss your flight if we keep on yakkin'.
Amy: Oh...! To Amy: you’ll always be one of us. We wish you the best. Love, your friends.

You’re something special
To me.
Friendship is something
That money can’t buy.
And if you need me
You know that
I’ll be there for you...

Amy: Oh Darien, I can’t! Can you give me a ride back, please? I can’t do this. Hey, there’s plenty of time to become a doctor; I’ll just reapply in a couple of years from now when I’m really ready to do this. Right now I want to be here, with my friends.

We’ll always be
The greatest of friends!
I’ll miss you
More than I can say

Sailor Jupiter: We’ve gotta try to do something here, you guys.
Sailor Mars: I can barely feel anything!

And when I dream,
I’ll just dream about you
I’ll be only a memory away.

Darien: I think the girls might be on a mission, Amy.
Amy: I know the Sailor Scouts are in trouble. I can feel it. They need me.
Frosty: I want Rini. Where is she?

We’ll always be
The greatest of friends!
I’ll miss you
More than I can say

Sailor Senshi: Ah!!!
Frosty: You know it’s Rini I want, Sailor Scouts. Hand her over now ! ‘Cause you know I’m not letting you go until I get that kid. C’mon, where is she?

And when you need me
I’ll be there for you

Frosty: Fine. Be stubborn!
Sailor Senshi: Ah!!!

I’ll be only a memory away...

CD Version

I hear the voice
Of my destiny call,
And I know
I must go find my way.

The hardest part,
Will be leaving you all.
And I'll miss you
Much more
Than words can say.

I'll be only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me
Any time of day.
And I'll be there,
It's okay,
Only a memory away.

My intuition
Says something
Is wrong
My friends said
They'd come and say goodbye.

I can't go
Until I know what's going on
I fear there is danger,
Somewhere near by.

I'll be only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me
Any time of day.
And I'll be there,
It's okay,
Only a memory away.

We've been together
Through good times and bad.
You've always
Been there for me.

I'll always treasure
The best friends I have,
Eternally!

I'll be only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me
Any time of day.
And I'll be there,
It's okay,
Only a memory away!
