Goodbye Old Friends Songtext
von Fascinating Aïda

Goodbye, old friends
The day is fled and zero hour is nigh, my friends
For who knows when the three of us will sit together here again
So let′s pour another glass there and we'll watch the sun slip low
And we′ll raise a toast to friendship made so many years ago

It seems so strange
When we were young we thought that things would never change
We're older now
And here we are, we've made it through the years somehow

Ah, we can′t replace the friendships that we forged when we were young
Ones that pick up from the place where they so carelessly were flung

Goodbye, may the road rise with you
Goodbye, may the breeze fly with you
Goodbye, goodbye
Think of me and drink to me sometimes


Some friends you lose
For careless things are said and done that wound and bruise
We′re all to blame
And yet we do it to each other just the same

For a friend can make you weep as much as any lover can
While some others merely reach the end of their allotted span
Friends come and go
Who knows why friendships fade and die while others grow
But one or two
Can never ever be replaced by someone new
And by now we can distinguish what is false and what is real
And we'll bind the true and trusted to our hearts with hoops of steel

Goodbye, may the road rise with you
Goodbye, may the breeze fly with you
Goodbye, goodbye
Think of me and drink to me sometimes
Goodbye, may the road rise with you
Goodbye, may the breeze fly with you
Goodbye, goodbye
Think of me and drink to me sometimes
