Old Friends Songtext
von Mary McCaslin

I saw an old friend the other day
In San Francisco by the bay
He took me back to only yesterday
The years somehow that slipped away

We laughed and talked about the days gone by
And brushed a tear away with a sigh
We promised not to let it be this long
Like the old refrain from an old, old song

Remember old friends we′ve made along the way
The gifts they've given stay with us every day

Looking back it makes me wonder
Where we′re going and how long we'll stay
I know the road brings rain and thunder
But for the journey what will we pay


I often think that times get crazier
As this old world goes round and round
But just the memory makes it easier
As the highway goes up and down

Remember old friends we've made along the way
The gifts they′ve given stay with us every day

Lately words been coming back to me
There′s a few I will no longer see
Their faces will be seen no more along the road
There'll be a few less hands to hold

But for the ones whose journeys ended
Though they started so much the same
In the hearts of those befriended
Burns a candle with a silver flame

Remember old friends we′ve made along the way
The gifts they've given stay with us every day

Remember old friends we′ve made along the way
The gifts they've given stay with us every day
