Sometimes I remember the old days When the world was filled with sorrow You might have thought I was livin' But I was all alone In my heart the rain was fallin The wind blew and The night was callin Come back, come back, I'm all you've ever known Open the door and come on in I'm so glad to see you my friend You're like a rainbow comin around the bend And when I see you smilin Well, it sets my heart free I'd like to be as good a friend to you As you are to me There were friends who could always see me Through the haze their smiles would reach me Saying okay, saying good-bye, saying hello Soon I knew just what I was after Was life and love, tears and laughter Hello, my good friend, hello my darlin What do you know Open the door and come on in I'm so glad to see you my friend You're like a rainbow comin around the bend And when I see you smilin Well, it sets my heart free I'd like to be as good a friend to you As you are to me I used to think it was only me feeling alone Not feeling free to be alive to be a friend Now I know we all have stormy weather The sun shines through when we're together I'll be your friend right through to the end Open the door and come on in I'm so glad to see you my friend You're like a rainbow comin around the bend And when I see you smilin Well, it sets my heart free I'd like to be as good a friend to you As you are to me
