There's a ring around the moon tonight  And chilling wind  But I don't have to be afraid  Cause we're old friends  There's a heartbeat of our Mother Earth  And it's so deep within  Oh, and I'm never short of company  Cause we're old friends  Chorus:  So let it snow 'til it's ten feet deep  Let the mist roll in  'Til I am too blind to see  Let the waters rise  Encircling me  Old Friends -- we'll always be  And Heaven is a perfect place  At the journey's end  Oh and I'm looking forward to that day  Cause we're old friends  (Chorus)  Old friends ... you and me  Old friends ... we will be  Old friends ... you and me  Old friends ... we will be  Old friends ... you and me  Old friends ... we will be  written by Chris Eaton  1996 Windswept Pacific Music Ltd.
