My old friend every now and then
Your face just comes to mind
And I recall the good times
When you and I
We watched the days go by
We thought they'd never end
My old friend

My old friend
I can't remember when
We met or when the last time was
We had to say goodbye
Because you and I
We laughed as time went by
Now you're just around the bend
My old friend

The world seems colder
So much has changed
As you look down from up above
I'm getting older
You're still the same
Still I'm thankful for the memories of
My old friend

I'll see you again
Time ies when you're smiling
So I hope it'll take a little while
And you and I
We'll watch the world go by
And we won't care if it never ends
My old friend

The world seems colder
So much has changed
As you look down from up above
I'm getting older
You're still the same
Still I'm thankful for the memories of
My old friend

I'll see you again
Time flies when you're smiling
So I hope it'll take a little while
And you and I
We'll watch the world go by
And we won't care if it never ends

My old friend
No, we won't care if it never ends
My old friend
