Old friend, comrade of mine   Once again you're on my mind   There's always a place, there's always a time   To think of days gone by      We spent too long apart   And there's so much in my heart   I want to say before we say goodbye      Your life and mine entwined   With the music and the songs   Our future was set from the moment that we met   We were old long friends      The work that quit our play   Carried us away then brought us home   Brought us home again      Love's a game, you never made a claim   Or tried to play that game with me   That set you apart with your own place in my heart   Where you will always be      As a woman among men   It was hard to find a friend   Then you were there and with you I was free      We traveled far by scooter then by car   From Paris down to Rome   In Germany we clowned   In Switzerland broke down, we were so young then      We parted and we aged   But our rainbow didn't fade   We remained, we remained old friends      Old friend, comrade of mine   Once again you're on my mind   There's always a place, there's always a time   To think of days gone by      We spent too long apart   And there's so much in my heart   I want to say before we say goodbye      Now you are gone and like the music   And the song you've come in to my mind   It's a good we have done, ensures that we live on   You will never die      Your friends hold you dear   We'll keep you with us here   So never say, never say goodbye
