Old Friend - Lena Horne

Hey old friend

Are you ok, old friend

What’ll ya say, old friend

Are we or are we unique?

Time goes by

Everything else keeps changin'

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

Hey old friend

How do we stay old friends

No one can say old friend

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 a revolving door

Maybe there’s one that’s more

And if you find one that’ll do yeah

But you old friend

Especially you old friend yeah

Here’s to us

Who’s like us

Damn few

Two old friends

Fewer won’t do old friend

You gotta have two old friends

Helping you balance along

One’ll praise you

For your faults and fancies

One persuades you

That the other one’s wrong

Most friends fade

Or they don’t make the grade

New ones are quickly made

Perfect, as long as they’re new yeah

But us old friend

What’s to discuss old friend old friend

Here’s to us

Who’s like us

Damn few
