My Dear Old Friend

How will we smile ever again?
 I'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend
 What do you say, is there a way?
 My dear old friend
 How will we laugh just like before?
 When there's water rising up to our door
 And we may never see each other again
 My dear old friend
 Will there be someone to remember?
 A little place that we loved
 How the music played all night and day
 Through the windows up above
 How the birds sang in the morning
 How the dog barked in the yard
 I guess that's nothing much but everything to us
 That's what seems so hard
 How will we smile ever again?
 I'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend
 The moon on the hill says we probably will
 My dear old friend, my dear old friend
