Old Friends

[STEPHEN SONDHEIM]
Hey, old friend
Are you okay, old friend?
What do you say, old friend?
Are we or are we unique?

[ANGELA LANSBURY]
Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week

[COMPANY]
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they’ll do
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us—
Who’s like us?
Damn few!

Hey, old friends
How do we stay old friends?
No one can say, old friends
How an old friendship survives
One day chums
Having a laugh a minute
One day comes
And they're a part of your lives

New friends pour
Through the revolving door—
Maybe there's one that's more
If you look hard, maybe two
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Perfect as long as they’re new
But us, old friends
What’s to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us
Who’s like us?
Damn few!
