Old Friends, Pt. II

Here's to us—

Who's like us?

Damn few

Hey, old friend

Are you okay, old friend?

Whaddaya say, old friend?

Are we or are we unique?

Time goes by

Everything else keeps changing

You and I

We get continued next week

Most friends fade

Or they don't make the grade

New ones are quickly made

And in a pinch, sure, they'll do

But us, old friend

What's to discuss, old friend?

Here's to us—

Who's like us?

Damn few!

So, old friend

Fill me in slow, old friend—

Start from hello, old friend

I want the when, where, and how

Old friends

Do tend to become old habit—

Never knew

How much I missed you till now

Most friends fade

Or they don't make the grade

New ones are quickly made

Some of them worth something, too

But us, old friends—

What's to discuss, old friends?

Tell you something:

Good friends point out your lies

Whereas old friends live and let live

Good friends like and advise

Whereas old friends love and forgive

And old friends let you go your own way—

Help you find your own way—

Let you off when you're wrong—

If you're wrong—

When you're wrong—

Right or wrong, the point is:

Old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong

Should, but not for too long

What's too long?

If you're wrong!

When you're wrong!

The thing is:

Old friends do leave their brands on you

But old friends shouldn't compete

Old friends don't make demands on you—

Should make demands on you—

Well, don't make demands you can't meet

Well, what's the

Point of demands you can meet?

Well, there's a time for demands

Whether you meet them or not—

Hey, old friends

How do we stay old friends?

Who is to say, old friends

How an old friendship survives?

One day chums

Having a laugh a minute

One day comes

And they're a part of your lives

New friends pour

Through the revolving door

Maybe there's one that's more

If you find one, that'll do

But us, old friends

What's to discuss, old friends?

Here's to us

Who's like us?

Damn few!
