Lyrics
Here where the pine trees grow
So straight and tall
We used to dream of flying free
You played a song for me
so sweet, so true
I didn?t care how far I?d fall
Then I could feel the summer
sun inside
warm as the middle of July
When I awoke that day
and learned you?d gone
Tears didn?t come I couldn?t cry
Goodbye, old friend
Goodbye, old friend
We?ll meet again
and still be friends
Now I?m standing outside your door
and I?m not sure I know why
Your parents see me there
and ask me in
They talk about the days gone by
After a while your mom she slips away
She says she?s got some things to do
Your dad and I we let
the silence fall
Knowing there?s nothing else to say
Goodbye, old friend
Goodbye, old friend
We?ll meet again
and still be friends
