Hello, old friend
We haven't talked much in a while
Or have you been?
Time can erase your smile
But there are words I want to hear
That only you could say
Old friend, why did you go away?
My old friend
I bet the music's pretty where you are
And I sure miss
The sound of your voice
The sound of your guitar
In this world you may be sound
But your voice is loud and clear
Old friend, how I wish you were here
Cause there are so many questions
I have no answers to
Maybe someday up in heaven
We can sit and talk it through
Until then I have to wonder
Why I'm not supposed to know
Old friend, why did you have to go?
My old friend
I wish I could turn back the time
Sing one more song
It sure would help this heart of mine
I could tell you that I love you
But I know that you know
Old friend, how do I let go?
Cause there are so many questions
I have no answers to
Maybe someday up in heaven
We can sit and talk it through
Until then I have to wonder
Why I'm not supposed to know
Old friend, why did you have to go?
To be strong on how we try
We search for a reason
And say goodbye
Cause there are so many questions
I have no answers to
Maybe someday up in heaven
We can sit and talk it through
Until then I have to wonder
Why I'm not supposed to know
Old friend, why did you have to go?
Old friend, how do I let go?
And old friend, why did you have to go?


Why did you have to go?
