In “Old Friends/Like It Was”, Mary and Charley think of the past and about their now dead friendship with Frank. Mary still wants to renew that friendship and “save” Frank from himself, while Charley believes that it is pointless.

Merrily We Roll Along (1979-1975) / Old Friends / Like It Was Lyrics

[COMPANY]
Yesterday is gone
See the pretty countryside
Merrily we roll along, roll along
Following dreams

Traveling's the fun
Flashing by the countryside
Everybody merrily, merrily...
1975...

[MARY]
Hey, old friend
What do you say, old friend?
Make it okay, old friend
Give an old friendship a break
Why so grim?
We're going on forever
You, me, him
Too many lives are at stake

Friends this long
Has to mean something's strong
So if your old friend's wrong
Shouldn't an old friend come through?
It's us, old friend—
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us
Who's like us—?

[CHARLEY]
Damn few

[MARY]
Charley
Why can't it be like it was?
I liked it the way that it was
Charley
You and me, we were nicer then

We were nice
Kids and cities and trees were nice
Everything...
I don't know who we are anymore
And I'm starting not to care

Look at us, Charley
Nothing's the way that it was
I want it the way that it was
Help me stop remembering then

Don't you remember?
It was good, it was really good
Help me out, Charley
Make it like it was
(spoken)
It was better, Charley. We both know it.

[CHARLEY, spoken]
But we're not the three of us anymore. Now we're one and one and one.

[MARY]
Charley
Nothing's the way that it was
I want it the way that it was
God knows, things were easier then

Trouble is, Charley
That's what everyone does:
Blames the way it is
On the way it was
On the way it never ever was...
