My Old Friend Lyrics

(intro)
(verse)
My Old Friend, I recall
the times we had hangin' on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold.
they laugh and they cry me, somehow sanctify me,
they're woven in the stories I have told, and tell again
(verse 2)
My old friend I apologize
For the years that have passed since the last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
the running and the races, the people and the places
there was always somewhere else I had to be, and time gets thin
My old friend
(tag)
Don't know why, don't know why (x2)
(7 bar interlude)
(verse 3)
My old friend, this song's for you
'Cause a few simple verses is the least that I could do
To tell the world you were here
'Cause the love and the laughter will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears.
We'll meet again, my old friend.
(tag 2)
Goodbye, goodbye
(repeat and fade)
