My Old Friend lyrics

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!
