You, My Old Friend

When we were young, you lived right next to me Two young man growing up on the same old street Every night we'd meet outside our doors Talking 'bout life and a thousand more With a cigarette burning in the quiet air Sharing our worries without a care Laughing loud till the night was gone Ending the day before the dawn And every weekend we would meet again "What should we do? Where should we go then?" Walking slowly down familiar roads Chasing dreams that only young hearts know But I can see that you've changed somehow I don't know when, I don't know how Thinking of those days, I look at the sky Wondering where our old days lie My friend, tell me what made you change Why does everything feel so strange? Why don't you laugh with the others anymore? Why blame the friends you loved before? The world was wide and the sky was clear Nothing between us, no doubt, no fear Just two friends and the passing time Living those simple days of life I still remember the nights we knew The streets, the laughs, just me and you Tell me, my friend, is it really true? Do you live your life for someone else's view? Do we have to worry what people might say? Is that the price that we have to pay? The world is big, you don't have to hide You don't have to stand on the other side Thinking of those days, I look at the sky Watching the silent years go by Somewhere deep in memories' light We were just two friends in the night
