My old friend, i recall
the times we had, hanging on my wall
i wouldn't trade them for gold
cause they laugh and they cry me
somehow sanctify me
they're woven in the stories i have told, and tell again
my old friend, i appologize
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
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
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... goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
My old friend
my old friend
goodbye
goodbye.
