Lyrics

As I am strolling down the garden path
I saw a flower glowing in the dark
It looked so pretty and it was unique
I had to bend down just to have a peek
Hello old friend
(Hello old friend)
Really good to see you once again
Hello old friend
(Hello old friend)
Really good to see you once again
I saw you walking underneath the stars
Couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are
Hello old friend
(Hello old friend)
It's really good to see you once again
Hello old friend
(Hello old friend)
Really good to see you once again
An old man passed me on the street today
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say
I stopped to think if I could place his frame
When he tipped his hat I knew his name
Hello old friend
(Hello old friend)
It's really good to see you once again
Hello old friend
(Hello old friend)
Really good to see you once again
