Old Friend

These will be the days

That we'll remember in days to come

The years slipped by so quickly

Now we're none of us so young

I'm frightened by emotions

Too wild for my control

Sometimes I've tried to hurt you

And at times I hurt us both

I cry out loud thinking back about

How I've been so blind and dumb

And I'm still shaken by your grace and innocence

After all we've been and done

But if I should dream, it'd be of you

Of you old friend, woah yeah

No one I know has the power to move me

The way you move me

Oh and you do

Loving you has never been easy

Oh but maybe I've been trying too hard

'Cause at last I can start to see you

As you really, really are

You walk ahead with a spring in your step

And a twinkle in your eye

I'm so weary and I'm aching all over

But I finally feel alive

If I should dream, it'll be of you

Of you old friend, oh yeah

No one I know has the power to move me

The way you move me

And you do

Loving you has never been easy

And I never thought I'd get this far

But at last I can start to see you

And to know you as you really are

I'm a bit of a cynic and too long in the tooth

To try and overstate the case

But I don't want to embarrass us both tonight

By saying this to your face

But if I should dream, it'd be of you

Of you old friend, oh yeah

You're the one I know with the power to move me

Move me, the way you move me

And you do

Think I'd better go

Think I'd better go now

Somehow I think I'd better go now

Think I'd better go

Think I'd better go now

Old friend, I think I'd better go now
