OLD FRIENDS, AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS,
JUST OLD FRIENDS THROUGH LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
OLD FRIEND, WHAT A FINE, WHAT A PRICELESS TREASURE
OLD FRIENDS, LIKE A RARE PIECE OF GOLD,
MY OLD FRIENDS, MAKE IT GREAT TO GROW OLD;
AND FRIENDS THROUGH IT ALL I WILL HOLD YOU,
OLD FRIENDS.
NOW GOD MUST HAVE KNOW THAT THERE'D BE DAYS
ON OUR OWN WE WOULD LOSE THE WILL TO KEEP
TRYING TO GO ON,
THAT'S WHY HE SENT FRIENDS LIKE YOU ALONG.
OLD FRIENDS, YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE, MY OLD
FRIENDS, WE'VE HAD MORE THEN OUR SHARE,
OLD FRIENDS: I'M A RICH MILLIONAIRE IN OLD FRIENDS.
A PHONE CALL, OR A LETTER, OR JUST A PAT ON THE BACK, OR A "HEY, I JUST
DROPPED BY TO SEE YOU."
FRIENDS WHEN WE'RE DOWN OR LOW, WHEN WE JUST COULDN'T BEAR- -
A SONG, OR A STORY, A LITTLE ROSE FROM THE FLORIST, OR A SPECIAL NOTE THAT
SAID "JUST HAPPENED TO SEND_ _ SOMEHOW _ _ JUST OUT OF THE BLUE" TELLS ME
YOU'RE STILL MY FRIEND.
GOD'S ALWAYS KNOWN THAT SOMEDAY ON OUR OWN WE'D
LOSE THE WILL TO GO ON, AND THAT'S WAY HE SENT FRIENDS
LIKE YOU ALONG.
OLD FRIENDS, YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE
MY OLD FRIEND, WE'VE HAD MORE THAN OUR SHARE
OLD FRIENDS, WE-RE ALL MILLIONAIRES IN OLD FRIENDS.
WELCOME TO SPIRIT GIVING WOMAN
