Lyrics
Friends Like You
Hello old friend
You're always waiting there for me
Peeking through the iron gate
Oh I missed you too, and yes I know I'm late
Somehow the time just slipped away
It was so good of you to stay
Oh, friends like you don't show up everyday
C'mon old friend
I know you're gettin up in years
It's hard to move now, but all the same
let's take that walk, if you're still game
I knew how short your life would be
Still it always gets to me
Friends like you don't show up everyday
We'll take a stroll 'neath the sycamore trees
and let the chipmunks make your day
Wade in the creek near the waterfall
Because all too soon we'll have to say...
Goodbye old friend
Oh how I'll hate to see you go
I'll cry like a child I know
but the world'll turn and the winds still blow
Somehow the time just slipped away
Since you showed up here that day
Soon we'll lay you down
beneath the sycamores
No, I don't find many friends like you these days
