Lyrics Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Hyman

Old Friend

A million times or more I thought about you

The years, the tears, the laughter, things we used to do

Are memories that warm me like a sunny day

You touched my life in such a special way

I miss the way you’d run your fingers through my hair

Those cozy nights we cuddled in your easy chair

Oh no, I won’t let foolish pride turn you away

I’ll take you back whatever price I pay

Old friend

It’s so nice to feel you hold me again

No, it doesn’t matter where you have been

My heart welcomes you back home again

Remember those romantic walks we used to take

You held my hand in such a way my knees would shake

You can’t imagine just how much I’ve needed you

I’ve never loved someone as I love you

Old friend

It’s so nice to feel you hold me again

No, it doesn’t matter where you have been

My heart welcomes you back

Old friend

This is where our happy ending begins

Yes, I’m sure this time that we’re gonna win

Welcome back into my life again

Yes, I’ve tried to live my life without you

Knowing I had lost my closest friend

And though I’m feeling low from time to time

Knowing I will never find the kind of love I had when you were mine

Old friend

It’s so nice to feel you hold me again

No, it doesn’t matter where you have been

My heart welcomes you back

Old friend

This is where our happy ending begins

Yes, I’m sure this time that we’re gonna win

Welcome back into my life again

Welcome back into my life again

Welcome back into my life again
