Old friends are cold and warm like oceans And they turn when there's a season And they learn when there's a reason To be near And I could hardly stand the weather If I thought that I would never Have the comfort of my brothers Through the years And if you lose your money, well honey, you know It's the least of what you have So believe in me, you can take it or leave But you'll never lose a friend You'll never lose a friend When you feel the fear arising And the spirit in you hiding And there's nobody there to care for you when you're down Heaven knows it's just the weight of the load And the changes in the way of the road So believe and what you need will come around And if you lose your money, well honey, you know It's the least of what you have So believe in me, you can take it or leave But you'll never lose a friend You'll never lose a friend Old friends are cold and warm like oceans And they turn when there's a season And they learn when there's a reason To be near (near) And I could hardly stand the weather If I thought that I would never Have the comfort of my brothers Through the years (years) And if you lose your money, well honey, you know It's the least of what you have So believe in me, you can take it or leave But you'll never lose a friend You'll never lose a friend
