My Old Friend Lyrics

I can't remember a time

When we weren't together

Conversations quiet a while

Then pick right up again

I always knew we'd be friends forever

From the time that we first met

There was no need to pretend

You've seen me at my best

You've seen me at my worst

When my world comes crashing down

You come running first

My old friend

You've always been around

My old friend

I want you by my side

My old friend

You pick me up when I am down

My old friend

Through life's changing tides

Even in a world when I'm on my own

I know you're standing here with me

You'll always be my stone

We only keep the love we give away

Love is all that matters

At the end of every day

You've loved me at my best

You've loved me at my worst

You love me just the way I am

That's the greatest gift on earth

My old friend

You're missed when you're not here

My old friend

You walk me through my fear

My old friend

I know the troubles you've been through

My old friend

Where would I be without you

As each year falls away

We come to know what matters most

The time we spend, the laughs we share

The voices of our ghosts

Our secrets are all safe

Our history's our glue

I only hope you realize

How much I still need you

I see my world as a vibrant tapestry

Every stitch a lesson

Every thread a memory

You've brought so much color to my life

Without you, there would be

Only shades of black and white

You see me as more

Than I can ever realize

And I strive to be, the me you see

When you see me through your eyes

My old friend

I love the time we get to spend

My old friend

I hope what we have never ends

My old friend

I'll never let you walk alone

My old friend

When I'm with you I'm home
