My Old Friend Lyrics

My old friend ? Sam Amidon
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!
