Lyrics: Old Friend
Album: Spanish Train and Other Stories
Artist: Chris De Burgh
 

Old friend, so you’re in trouble again, you ask me today,
To try and find a little time, and maybe buy a glass of wine,
Old friend, I’m coming through…

Old friend, Yes I remember you, always a smile on your face,
Oh memory from years before, an old man and a little boy,

well,
One day you threw a wish in, and we listened while it fell,
And you made a wish…

“When the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold,
Well I wish when the evening comes that there’ll always
be…Some old friend who’ll miss me too…”

Well I do, so old friend I’m coming through…
Yes, for you I’ll always find the time, we will have a bottle
of wine, old friend, I’m here by your side, Oh, to the very end,
Old friend…I miss you too…My dear old friend…
Old friend…Old friend…
