My Old Friend

Sitting by myself
With a song in my head
I guess it's pretty late
I should tuck myself in bed
I wish that when I fall asleep
I pray the Lord, my soul, to keep
And dream that I'm home again
Wrapped in the arms of my best friend

I've been getting drunk
I'm just trying to pass the time
I'm out of cigarettes
And I drank up all the wine
I'd shake the devil from my mind
But the devil's never been so kind
And dream that I'm at home again
Wrapped in the arms of my best friend

I could hold her tonight
Make my dreams come true
I could hold her so tight
The way we used to do

Am I sleeping or are my eyes just closed
Can she hear me?
My God only knows

I could hold her tonight
Make my dreams come true
I could hold her so tight
The way we used to do

I could hold her tonight
And make my sorrows end
I could hold her so tight
She's my only friend
