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 wont 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
Cause 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
