My old friend,
I recall
The times we had
hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade
them for gold
'Cause they laugh
and they cry me
They somehow sanctify 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
but the running
and the races
The people and the places
There's always somewhere
else I had to be
Time gets slim,
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
'Cause the love
and the laughter
will live long, long after
All of the sadness
and the tears
We'll meet again,
my old friend
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My old friend
My old friend
Goodbye, goodbye
