The next time we meet, we will be old friends We'll stand on the street, laughing like old friends Time will be kind; you won't have changed Your smile will be exactly the same One day we'll meet, though we don't know when Drink coffee and tea just like two old friend You'll tell me your stories, and I'll tell you mine And we'll wonder at the passing of time No one can take your place No one fill the space you leave when you go If we should lose touch You will not lose my love We'll catch up Somewhere down the road, down the road I hope you'll agree we'd make good old friends If it were up to me, that would be my goal, friend We'll turn glasses of wine into rooms full of song And we'll be old friends if I'm not wrong We'll be old friends before too long
