to chuck and rob, and others less we forget
I saw an old friend the other day In San Francisco by the Bay It took me back to only yesterday The years somehow let slip away We laughed and talked about the days gone by And brushed a tear away with a sigh We promised not to let it be this long Like the old refrain from an old, old song Remember old friends we’ve made along the way The gifts they’ve given stay with us every day Looking back it makes me wonder Where we’re going and how long we’ll stay I know the road brings rain and thunder But for the journey what will we pay? I often think the times get crazier As this old world goes round and round But just the memory makes it easier As the highway goes up and down Lately word’s been coming back to me There’s a few I will no longer see Their faces will be seen no more along the road There’ll be a few less hands to hold But for the ones whose journey’s ended Though they started so much the same In the hearts of those befriended Burns a candle with a silver flame
Old Friends – music and lyrics by Mary McCaslin
