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 sanctify me
They rolling in the stories I have told

And tell her again
My old friend, I apologize
For the years that I've passed since the last time you and I

Dust it 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 can do

And 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
