Lyrics

Old friend, so you're in trouble again, you ask me today
To try and find a little time, and maybe buy a glass of wine
Old friend, I'm coming through..

Old friend, yes I remember you, always a smile on your face
Oh memory from years before, an old man and a little boy
Old friend, I remember you..

You used to take me fishing down by the wishing well
One day you threw a wish in, and we listened while it fell
And you made a wish..

"When the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold
Well I wish when the evening comes that there'll always
Be...some old friend who'll miss me too..."

Well I do, so old friend I'm coming through..
Yes, for you I'll always find the time, we will have a bottle
Of wine, old friend, I'm here by your side, oh, to the very end
Old friend...i miss you too...my dear old friend..
Old friend...old friend..
