Old friends…..

CHORUS:

We were old friends -- (We were) childhood pals
(We were) sandbox playmates  -- We had principles                                    
Now you say you don’t want to resurrect the past
But in my mind…..we’re still Old Friends

1) Across the street  -- Around the town
Backyard hoppers -- Smiles and frowns
Remember when I made you laugh till it hurt?
(Was that you who pushed me down in the dirt?)
Those were the times I still recall  -- When we were…old friends

REPEAT CHORUS:

2) Out on our corner -- Till day light fell
Music in the basement -- Till the dinner bell
Remember riding in my Dad’s convertible?
Remember when we were amicable?
That was when we were… …old friends …

              BRIDGE:

              What’s happened in these years gone past?
              I thought our friendship would always last.
              Though we later traveled separate roads
              We’d easily re-connect our souls.
              Now Spring has come around -- Grass is greener on the ground
              Summer’s on it’s way.  -- I get nostalgic, but what can I say?.
              What happened to our yesterday?
                                              When we were old…friends

REPEAT CHORUS:
