My Old Friend

Story Behind The Song

Late one night the phone rang. My wife answered it in a far away room. All I could hear was the joy in her voice, the muffled sounds of laughter and surprise coming all the way from the upstairs hall where she was. I knew it was an old friend of hers....

Song Description

....the older I get (not that I am getting older), the more I cherish the older friendships I have. As time goes on, frienships dwindle and die.....those which survive are truely a gift.

Lyrics

....I have an Old Friend whose vision is clear
and when the picture won't take shape
and the clarity escapes
we stand back....
and see it comin' into view
we can always see it through
