What will I do
when you're gone
Who's gonna tell me the truth
Who's gonna finish
the stories I start
The way you always do
When somebody
knocks at the door
Someone new walks in
I will smile
and shake their hands
But you can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was me and you
Since way back when
But you can't make old friends
How will I sing
when you're gone
'Cause it won't
sound the same
Who will join in
on those harmony parts
When I call your name
You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was you and me
Since way back when
But you can't make old friends
When Saint Peter
opens the gate
And you come walkin' in
I will be there
just waitin' for you
'Cause you can't
make old friends
You can't make old friends
When I'm out
on the stage all alone
And I hear the music begin
We all know
the show must go on
But you can't make old friends
No no
You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
And you and me
will be young again
You can't make old friends
You and me
will be together again
'Cause we both know
we'll still be old friends
You can't make old friends
Not the way
we've always been
