Old Friend

Where have you been old friend? Have waited so very long To take your hand and walk with you To sing our favorite song So many years have come and gone Yet it seems like yesterday We would hold each other’s hands To sit and talk this way Where have you been old friend? You left without a word A shadow slipping into night Not a sound was heard Now you stand in front of me Arms held out in love Calling me into the light Shining from above Where have you gone old friend Now it’s clear to see A messenger from the other side Sent to welcome me Seems the years are over My life is at an end Alas where have you been old friend?
