Old Friends

When people have to part
they only say 'goodbye'
and miss the chance to say
'You're dear, so dear'
So, we won't simply say goodbye...
We'll share these words
So clear...
The next time we meet
we will be old friends.
We'll stand on the street
laughing like old friends.
Time will be kind;
you won't have changed.
Your smile will be exactly the same...
One day we'll meet,
though we don't know when.
Drink coffee and tea just like two old friends.
You'll tell me your stories,
and I'll tell you mine.
And we'll wonder at the passing of time...
(the passing of time)
No one can take your place,
no one can fill the space
you leave when you go
(when you go)
If we should lose touch,
you will not lose my love.
We'll catch up...
Somewhere down the road...
Down the road...
I hope you'll agree -
we'd make good old friends.
If it were up to me, that would be my goal, friend.
We'll turn glasses of wine
into rooms full of song.
We'll be old friends if I'm not wrong...
We'll be old friends...
(old friends)
before too long...
We'll be old friends
before too long...
