You Can't Make Old Friends

What will I do when you are gone?

Who's gonna tell me the truth?

Who's gonna finish the stories I start

The way you always do?

When somebody knocks at the door

Someone new walks in

I will smile and shake their hands

But, you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends

Can't make old friends

It was me and you, since way back when

But you can't make old friends

How will I sing when you are gone

'Cause it won't sound the same

Who'll join in, on those harmony parts

When I call your name

You can't make old friends

Can't make old friends

It was you and me, since way back when

But you can't make old friends

When Saint Peter opens the gate

And you come walking in

I'll be there, just waiting for you

'Cause you can't make old friends

'Cause you can't make old friends

When I'm out on the stage all alone

And I hear the music begin

We all know the show must go on

But you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends

Can't make old friends

And you and me, will be young again

You can't make old friends

You and me, will be together again

'Cause we both know, we will still be old friends

You can't make old friends

Not the way we have always been
