Old Friends

Hello old friend, sit ye down, take a drink
And we'll talk over days that are gone
Was it last year or maybe ninety-nine
When we last met before I moved on?

Seems to me now like a moment ago
Two kids dreamed about time and the stars
Funny to think how we shrink as we grow
Now I do all my dreaming in bars

And hey, it's been a long time
A long time since we were together
Hey it's been a long time
And it's good to see you again

How will it be if we walk for a spell
Or maybe just sit in the sun
No need for talking, there's no need to dwell
On the memories of things said and done

Here in this moment our friendship is real
And our talk's just a cloak that it wears
Funny how just with a glance and a smile
You can set aside so many years

And hey, it's been a long time
A long time since we were together
Hey it's been a long time
And it's good to see you again

Once in a while as I pass by the phone
I wonder why you never call
I guess it might be better
If I wrote a letter
But it doesn't matter at all

I guess you'll be on your way soon
So I'll say so long 'til we meet again
Maybe we'll meet in a bar on the moon
If I ever nake three-score and ten

I'll wish you luck without shedding a tear
And I know that the same goes for you
Because whether we meet in a week or a year
It'll be just the same when we do

And I'll say
Hey, it's been a long time
A long time since we were together
Hey it's been a long time
And it's good to see you again
