| 1. | [FA7M]Old [DO7M]friends, [FA7M]old [DO7M]friends, [SOL]Sat on their park benches like [DO]bookends, [LAm] [SOL]Newspapers blown through the grass Falls on the [LAm]round toes Of the [SOL]hide shoes of the [FA7M]old [DO7M]friends. |
| 2. | [FA7M]Old [DO7M]friends, [SOL]winter companions, the [FA7M]old [DO7M]men, [SOL]Lost in their overcoat, [DO]waiting for the [LAm]sun. [SOL]The sounds of the city shifting to [LAm]trees settle like [SOL]dust On the [FA7M]shoulders of the old [DO7M]friends. [SOL]Can you imagine us [DO]years from today [LAm]Sharing a park bench [DO]quietly, [SOL]How terribly strange to be [FA7M]seventy. |
| 3. | [FA7M]Old [DO7M]friends, [SOL]Memory brushes the [FA7M]same [DO7M]years, [SOL]Silently sharing the [DO]same [LAm]fear. |
| 4. | [SOL]Time it was, and what a time, it was [DO]... A time of [FA]innocence, A time of [DO]confidences. [SOL]Long ago it must be, I have a [DO]photograph ... Preserve your [FA]memories, They're all that [DO]left you. |
