My Old Friend

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 apologize
 For the years that have passed
 Since the last time you and I
 Dusted off those memories
 But the running and the races
 The people and the places
 There's always somewhere else I had to be
 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
