My old friend, I recall
|
Times we had are hanging on my wall
|
I wouldn't trade them for gold
|
They laughed and they cried me
|
And somehow sanctified me
|
They're woven in the stories I have told
|
And tell again
|
|
My old friend, I apologize
|
For the years that have passed since the last time you and I
|
Dusted off those memories
|
Running in the races people and the places
|
There was always somewhere else I had to be
|
Time gets thin my old friend
|
|
Don't know why
|
Don't know why
|
Don't know why
|
Don't know why
|
|
My old friend, this song's for you
|
'Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
|
To tell the world that you were here
|
The love and the laughter
|
Will live on long after
|
All of the sadness and the tears
|
We'll meet again, my old friend
|
|
Goodbye, goodbye!
|
Goodbye, goodbye!
|
