You Can't Make Old Friends

What will I do when you are gone? Who's gonna tell me the truth? Who's gonna finish the stories I start The way you always do? When somebody knocks at the door Someone new walks in I will smile and shake their hands But you can't make old friends You can't make old friends Can't make old friends It was you and me, since way back when But you can't make old friends How will I sing when you are gone? 'Cause it won't sound the same Who will join in on those harmony parts When I call your name? You can't make old friends Can't make old friends It was you and me, since way back when But you can't make old friends When saint peter opens the gate And you come walking in I will be there just waiting for you 'Cause you can't make old friends You can't make old friends When I am out on the stage all alone And I hear the music begin We all know the show must go on But you can't make old friends You can't make old friends Can't make old friends And you and me, will be young again You can't make old friends You and me, will be together again 'Cause we both know, we will still be old friends You can't make old friends Not the way we have always been
