Lyrics

 * Thomas: Excuse me, Mr. Crane!
 * Carter: Uh-huh?
 * Thomas: You have to load me onto a ship bound for China straight away!
 * Carter: Oh, do I now?
 * Thomas: Please! I'm trying to catch up with someone, someone I need to talk to.
 * Carter: That's some distance to go for a talk. Must be a good friend.
 * Thomas: Yes, she is.


 * Thomas: Sometimes you make a friend,
 * the kind of friend who stays.
 * Sometimes you make a friend
 * and you're the one who goes away.
 * Sometimes you're the one,
 * who acts a bit unkind.
 * You didn't think and you did something,
 * you can't forget and can't rewind.


 * I'm sorry, so sorry!
 * And I don't know what to do.
 * With you so far away.
 * I'm sorry, so sorry!
 * And as soon as I see you,
 * that's exactly what I'm going to say!
 * I'm sorry, I hope you're still my friend!
 * I'm sorry, so sorry my friend!


 * Sometimes you make a friend,
 * the kind of friend you need.
 * You try to make them happy,
 * but... you don't always succeed.
 * Sometimes you're the one,
 * who does something that's not okay.
 * Sometimes you hurt a friend,
 * and you don't know what to do or say.


 * I'm sorry, so sorry!


 * Yong Bao: Hello! Aren't you Thomas from the Island of Sodor? I think I met you at the Great Railway Show.
 * Thomas: Hello! I remember you, you're Yong Bao!
 * Yong Bao: That's right, but what are you doing in China, Thomas?
 * Thomas: Oh, I'm looking for a friend.
 * Yong Bao: A friend from Sodor?.
 * Thomas:  No, a friend from Africa.
 * Chinese Diesel: I met a steam engine from Africa this morning.
 * Thomas: You did!.
 * Chinese Diesel: Yes. She was heading for Zhangye Danxia.
 * Thomas: Zhangye Danxia?
 * Chinese Diesel: Yes, the Rainbow Mountains.
 * Thomas: The Rainbow Mountains! Of course! Thanks! Thanks!
 * Yong Bao: If you're going to the mountains, you'll need a snowplough!


 * Thomas: So I'll hold onto hope,
 * I'll hold on tight,
 * for a chance to make things right.
 * I'm looking for you,
 * I'll come through,
 * if it takes me all my life!


 * I'm sorry, so sorry!
 * And I don't know what to do.
 * With you so far away.
 * I'm sorry, so sorry!
 * And as soon as I see you,
 * that's exactly what I'm going to say!
 * I'm sorry, I hope you're still my friend!
 * I'm sorry, so sorry my friend!
