Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

You'll be my old friend someday

I always remember when I was young

Through words, my father would say

Be kind to the people you meet in this life

And help them along on their way

For each has their trouble their own tale of woes

And each has a story to tell

A good wish, a smile, a kind word or two

Will help to brighten their day

Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

they'll stand by you come what may

Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

u'll be my old friend someday

New friends are fine but like a good wine

They only get better with age

In the blink of an eye a years, all go by

With every turn of life's page

Trouble and strife, we'll meet in this life

And we all must go on till the end

But in good times or bad, happy or sad

There is nobody like an old friend.

Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

they'll stand by you come what may

Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

u'll be my old friend someday

Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

they'll stand by you come what may

Old friends are best

That's what the old folks say

When put to the test

Old friends are best

u'll be my old friend someday

When put to the test

Old friends are best
