Charlie Allen Old Friend
Good old friend
I've come and seen
Time has passed without me
Our lives have turned their separate ways
Yet don't forget the good old days
If life were pure and good and true
No sling or arrow could harm you
I hope you don't forget yourself
God bless your future
Keep your health
Tears may fall and hearts may break
Sleepless hours clock hands may take
And still, I'll beg you please don't fret
I will not waiver or forget
Although to me it seems you're gone
To you, it seems nothing's wrong
May night be swift and soon give way
To endless sunshine cloudless day
And you're not dead and you're not gone
Bad fortune fakes elaborate pawn
But when we both do meet again
I know that I can call you friend
