Goodbye Old Friend |
LyricsCopyright © 2005/2012 Jim Ferrie MusicMusic/Lyrics by Jim Ferrie Where did the years go? Since we went on our separate ways We'd had the best of times together Times we shared, the times we knew Cool and carefree, full of youth I won't forget you now, not ever Well here I am, once again And you like smoke upon the wind Free at last and free forever So here it is, Goodbye Old Friend Forever young right to the end You used to say we'd live forever So here and now beneath the sky Until we meet again Goodbye, Goodbye Goodbye Old Friend Warm and carefree summer breeze You always did as you would please No regrets and no tomorrows And I'll remember time again And hear your laughter in the wind Free at last and free forever So here it is, Goodbye Old Friend Forever young right to the end For in the end you live forever So here and now beneath the sky Until we meet again Goodbye, Goodbye Goodbye Old Friend |
