Song Description

Recalling a friendship that seemed cut short, yet realizing that things are what they were meant to be.

Lyrics

Hello My Old Friend

Well hello old friend
It?s great to see the years have made you better
And thanks for all the letters you never wrote
But hey I?m no better anyway
We were not the kind of friends to stay in touch that way
But throughout the years I always felt there?d be more to say
Some where along the way

And I must admit
I never thought you?d do the things you did
Well you think you know someone but you really don?t
But hey, I hope someday
You?ll see me that way too, I hope I surprised you, just being here today
I still have the old recordings, of the songs we played
Of the music that we made

I wonder do you still play guitar
And I see now that we could have become stars
If I?d trusted how bright we are, but the darkness seemed so vast
But hey, nobody gets that far From where they?ve been
Even though you might?ve come through hell and back again
But I learned to trust the wisdom in things you said back then
Hey let?s stop and remember when
