Old Friend Lyrics

Old Friend lyrics

Everytime I've lost another lover 

I call up my old friend 

And say
let's get together 

I'm under the weather 

Another love has
suddenly come to an end 

And he listens as I tell him my sad story 

And wonders at my taste in men 

And we wonder why I do it 

And
the pain of getting through it 

And he laughs and says: "You'll do it
again !" 

And we sit in a bar and talk till two 

'Bout life and
love as old friends do 

And tell each other what we've been through 

How love is rare, life is strange 

Nothing lasts, people change 

And I ask him if his life is ever lonely 

And if he ever feels despair


And he says he's learned to love it 

'Cause that's really a part of
it 

And it helps him feel the good times when they're there 



And we wonder if I'll live with any lover 

Or spend my life alone 

And the bartender is dozing 

And it's getting time for closing 

So we figure that I'll make it on my own 



But we'll meet the
year we're sixty-two 

And travel the world as old friends do 

And
tell each other what we've been through 

How love is rare, life is
strange 

Nothing lasts, people change
