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
They somehow sanctify 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
But the runnin' 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
