Old friends

sat on their park bench like bookends
A news- pa- per blown through the grass falls on the
round toes of the high shoes of the

wai- ting for the sun The
sounds of the city sifting through trees settles like
dust on the shoulders of the
Old friends
Can you i - ma - gine us years from to - day
sharing a park bench quietly how

Pre - serve your me - mo - ries they're all that's left you
