Old Friend Songtext

von Lena Horne

Hey old friend
Are you ok, old friend
What'll ya say, old friend
Are we or are we unique?
Time goes by
Everything else keeps changin'
You and I
We get continued next week
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch
Sure they'll do
But us old friend
What's to discuss old friend
Here's to us
Who's like us
Damn few

Hey old friend
How do we stay old friends
No one can say old friend
How an old friendship survives
One day chums
Having a laugh a minute
One day comes
And they're a part of your lives
New friends pour
Through a revolving door
Maybe there's one that's more
And if you find one that'll do yeah
But you old friend
Especially you old friend yeah
Here's to us
Who's like us
Damn few
Two old friends
Fewer won't do old friend
You gotta have two old friends
Helping you balance along
One'll praise you
For your faults and fancies
One persuades you
That the other one's wrong
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Perfect, as long as they're new yeah
But us old friend
What's to discuss old friend old friend
Here's to us
Who's like us
Damn few
