There are moments in the day I think about our youth
Where dreams ran rapid in fields of our hope
Man, those were the years before the work and all the bills
And now the miles that separate has me placing this call
Hello old friend it's nice to talk to you again
How much time has passed us by since we said our last goodbye?
I don't know but I'm just glad that you're okay
But then again a lot has changed, you know nothing stays the same
Except for you my old friend
Seasons run their course with each passing year
Kaleidoscope of trees and grass shifting through their hues
But amidst the constant change of this world we're living in
There remains a common trend that you are my friend
Hello old friend it's nice to talk to you again
How much time has passed us by since we said our last goodbye?
I don't know but I'm just glad that you're okay
But then again a lot has changed, you know nothing stays the same
Except for you my old friend
Decades have rolled right over like a passing of a glance
And our lives summarized by photos in our hands
But it pains me now to know that you've gone on before
As I stand here in black I'm fighting to say these words
Hello old friend it's nice to talk to you again
How much time has passed us by since we said our last goodbye
Oh, I know but I'm just glad that you're okay
And yet again a lot has changed, you know nothing stays the same
Except for you my old friend
Except for you my old friend
