Texty: Phyllis Hyman. Old Friend.
A million times or more I thought about you
The years, the tears, the laughter, things we used to do
Our memories, that warm me like a sunny day
You touched my life in such a special way
I miss the way you run your fingers through my hair
Those cozy nights we cuddled in your easy chair
Oh, no, I won't let foolish pride turn you away
I'll take you back whatever price I pay
Old friend, it's so nice to feel you hold me again
No, it doesn't matter where you have been
My heart welcomes you back home again
Remember those romantic walks we used to take
You held my hand in such a way my knees would shake
You can't imagine just how much I've needed you
I've never loved someone as I've loved you
Old friend, it's so nice to feel you hold me again
No, it doesn't matter where you have been
My heart welcomes you back
Old friend, this is where our happy ending begins
Yes, I'm sure this time that we're gonna win
Welcome back into my life again
Yes, I've tried to live my life without you
Knowing I had lost my closest friend
Although I've been in love from time to time
Knowing I will never find the kind of love I had when you were mine
Old friend, it's so nice to feel you hold me again
No, it doesn't matter where you have been
My heart welcomes you back
Old friend, this is where our happy ending begins
Yes, I'm sure this time that we're gonna win
Welcome back into my life again
Welcome back into my life again
Welcome back into my life again
The years, the tears, the laughter, things we used to do
Our memories, that warm me like a sunny day
You touched my life in such a special way
I miss the way you run your fingers through my hair
Those cozy nights we cuddled in your easy chair
Oh, no, I won't let foolish pride turn you away
I'll take you back whatever price I pay
Old friend, it's so nice to feel you hold me again
No, it doesn't matter where you have been
My heart welcomes you back home again
Remember those romantic walks we used to take
You held my hand in such a way my knees would shake
You can't imagine just how much I've needed you
I've never loved someone as I've loved you
Old friend, it's so nice to feel you hold me again
No, it doesn't matter where you have been
My heart welcomes you back
Old friend, this is where our happy ending begins
Yes, I'm sure this time that we're gonna win
Welcome back into my life again
Yes, I've tried to live my life without you

Welcome back into my life again
Welcome back into my life again
Welcome back into my life again
