Old Friend (12-14-21) by Guitarhacker

We were crazy, and didn't care, like young men tend to do
talked of girls with chestnut curls and deepest eyes of blue
another beer, another lie, another glimpse into our soul
Never gave a second thought, that we were growing old

This world just keeps on turning, And the candle's slowly burning

Like the river that rolls, time takes it's toll and catches us all in the end
It's the people we know, the love that we show and time that we're willing to spend
Don't let it pass you by, all you have to do is try
One day you'll realize, you have an old friend

I saw him just the other day, he didn't know my name
All those years were not so kind to him, now the days are filled with pain
Memories of a stranger's face, someone he used to know
Now he just sits, stares out the window at the sunset evening glow

This world just keeps on turning, And the candle's slowly burning

Like the river that rolls, time takes it's toll and catches us all in the end
It's the people we know, the love that we show and time we're willing to spend
Don't let it pass you by, all you have to do is try
One day you'll realize, you have an old friend
One day you'll realize, we all need old friends
