Old Friends

Stephen Sondheim

Here's to us

Who's like us?

Damn few

Hey, old friend
Are you okay, old friend?
What do ya say, old friend?
Are we or are we unique?

Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week

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 friend
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few!

So, old friend
Fill me in slow, old friend
Start from hello, old friend
I want the when, where, and how
Old friends do tend to become old habit
Never knew how much I missed you 'til now

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Some of them worth something, too
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?

Tell you something:
Good friends point out your lies
Whereas old friends live and let live
Good friends like and advise
Whereas old friends love and forgive

And old friends let you go your own way
Help you find your own way
Let you off when you're wrong
If you're wrong
When you're wrong

Right or wrong, the point is:
Old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong

Should, but not for too long
What's too long?
If you're wrong!
When you're wrong!

The thing is:
Old friends do leave their brands on you
But old friends shouldn't compete

Old friends don't make demands on you
Should make demands on you
Well, don't make demands you can't meet
Well, what's the
Point of demands you can meet?
Well, there's a time for demands
Whether you meet them or not

Hey, old friends
How do we stay old friends?
Who is to 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 find one, that'll do
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few
