When the sun got big, and the night came down
|
We used to share a drink - and let the demons out.
|
We let the good times rock, you made the bad times roll
|
We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul
|
Old friends... in better times
|
|
And when the going got hard,
|
When times were tough
|
We put our backs to the wall,
|
You used to strut your stuff.
|
With a head held high and a heart so big
|
One fist at the sky... and shake a leg.
|
|
Old friends in better times
|
|
(Even though, even though we miss you now
|
Look forward don't look back
|
We'll get by somehow)
|
|
And so I raise my glass in a last goodbye
|
Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die
|
The best thing I can say, after all this time, is
|
You were a real friend, of mine
|
|
Old friends... in better times
|
