My Old Friend - Sam Amidon

My old friend I recall

Times we had are hanging on my wall

I wouldn't trade them for gold

They laughed and they cried me

And somehow sanctified 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

Running in the races people and the places

There was 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

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
