I saw an old friend the other day
In San Francisco by the Bay
Took me back to only yesterday
The years somehow that slip away
And after talked about the days gone by
Brushed a tear away by the side
We promised not to let it be this long
Like the old refrain from the old old song
Remember old friends we made along the way
The gifts they gave that stay with us every day
Looking back it makes me wonder
Where we’re going how long we’ll stay
I know the road brings rain and thunder
But for the journey what will we pay
I often think the times be crazier
As this whole world goes round and round
Just the memory makes it easier
As the highway goes up and down
Remember old friends we’ve made along the way
The gifts they’ve given stay with us every day
Lately words come back to me
There’s a few I will no longer see
Faces will we see no more along the road
There’ll be a few less hands to hold
But for the ones whose journey's ended
Though they started so much the same
In the hearts of those befriended
Burns a candle with a silver flame
Remember old friends we’ve made along the way
The gifts they’ve given stay with us every day
Remember old friends we’ve made along the way
The gifts they’ve given stay with us every day
