VERSE 1.
I saw you in a dream
Your were waiting for a train
You woke me up and you made me cry
The disguise you wore it did you well
For you almost past me by
But, we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try

CHORUS
Because old friends will stay old friends
Through distances and time
Old friends will mellow with the years
Like children and old wine

VERSE 2.
I lost you on the river
You were rowing with your gun
And when the bottom was filled with holes
Your rowing was all done
Now, I sleep on half the bed
I leave a place for you
‘Cause even though you’re gone from me
I’m still in love (with you)
‘Cause we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try

VERSE 3.
I know you don’t feel the same
Because I’ve been gone so long
I look in your eyes and I see the pain
Neither of us is that strong
Maybe we should have taken the time
To share more of our lives
Maybe it was something that we owed to love
Since we raised it from a child
‘Cause we embraced and we held the time
We didn’t have to try
We didn’t have to try

CHORUS
Because old friends can stay old friends
Through distances and time
Old friends can mellow through the years
Like children and old wine
