lyrics

Born on the same day on the same street in the same town
Two children with the same name bound to hear the same sounds
Friends thick as thieves with a friendship thick as blood
They grew up tall and they grew up strong with dreams beyond the mud

Chorus:
Hello old friend
How have you been
I hope your journey fared well from wherever it is you've been
I hope your lot is better and your conscience free of sin
And soon we’ll sing the same songs we used to sing before
Old friend
Old friend

They moved far apart but kept in touch every now and then
Both married and started families with a joy heaven sent
And every few years or so when they both came face to face
They’d greet each other with open arms and sing of the past days

(Chorus)

One day eighty years later one friend received a call
The news was not good, doctors had no hope at all
When G-d came to take one from the living to beyond
The other held his hand and sang their blessed song

Goodbye old friend
We’ll meet at the other end
I know your journey will fare well from down here where you've been
I know your lot will be better and your conscience free of sin
And soon we’ll sing the same songs we used to sing before
Old friend
Old friend
