G7+ D7+ G7+ D7+ Em7 A7
Old friends old friends sat on their park bench
D Bm Em7 A
like bookends a newspaper blown through the grass
Bm D7+ G D6 G7+ D7+
falls on the round toes of the high shoes of the old friends
G7+ D7+ Em7 A7
Old friends winter companions
G7+ F#m7 Em7 A7 D Em7 Bm
the old men lost in their overcoats waiting for the sun
Em7 A7 F#m7 Bm
The sounds of the city shifting through trees
A G D6
settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends
Em7 A7 D7+ G Gm D
Can you imagine us years from today sharing a park bench quietly
Em7 A7 Bm
How terribly strange to be seventy
G7+ D7+ Em7 A7 G7+ F#m7
old friends memory brushes the same years
Em7 A7 D6 Bm
silently sharing the same fears
Em7 D
Time it was and what a time it was, it was
Em7 D
a time of inocence, a time of confidences.
Em7 D
Long ago it must be I have a photograp
Em7 D Em7 D Em7 D
preserve your memories; they’re all that’s left you
