Old Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Was it really years ago?
It seems like only yesterday
The last time that I saw
You laugh at me and fly away
I remember all of the good times
And the songs we used to sing
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing
Lord, you should've heard the music
And all the changes it's gone through
But the funny thing is lately
It keeps on easing back to you
But there's always something missing
It'll never be the same
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing
They've been writin' books about you
And the stories that they tell
Make you look like some kind of angel
And we both know you're as mean as hell
Well, I've had my share of hard times
But I've lived through the strain
Old friend, I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing
People talk about you
After all this time
You were many things to many people
But you were a friend of mine
I've been thinking 'bout how long
You've been gone
The things you've never seen
But old friend
I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing
Old buddy, we sure've missed you
But you ain't missed a thing
