when i woke up this morning
i called you on the phone
i felt so blue and lonely
i felt so all alone
my mind's mixed up i'm so confused
i don't know what to do
i need to talk to someone
an old friend like you
i was looking through some photographs
i took some time ago
there were some familiar faces
some i did not know
it took me back to times when i was never sad or blue
took me back to when i had an old friend like you
old friends don't let you down
they're always on your side
old friends are there for you to lean on and confide
when times are hard they're always strong
to help you see it through
well it seems my luck is changing
my life needs rearranging
it seems it's not my turn
to need an old friend like you
i still remember all those days
when we were young and free
we found we'd stay together
but it was never meant to be
and then one day you moved away
so far across the sea
and now and then i wonder
if you ever think of me
now the years drift slowly by
and deep inside i know it's time to find
and spend some time with friends that we miss
so that's why i called to let you know
without you i'm so blue
i miss you and right now i need an old friend like
you
old friends don't let you down
they're always on your side
old friends are there for you to lean on and confide
when times are hard they're always strong
to help you see it through
well it seems my luck is changing
my life needs rearranging
it seems it's now my turn
to need an old friend like you
well it seems my luck is changing
my life needs rearranging
it seems it's not my turn
to need an old friend like you
