[Verse 1:] Was it really years ago It seems like only yesterday The last time that I saw You laugh at me and fly away [Chorus:] I remember all of the good times And the songs we used to sing Old friend we sure have missed you But you ain't missed a thing [Verse 2:] Lord you should've heard the music And all the changes it's gone through But the funny thing is lately It keeps an easing back to you [Chorus:] But there's always something missing It'll never be the same Old friend we sure have missed you But you ain't missed a thing [Verse 3:] They've been writin' books about you And the stories that they tell Make you look like some kind of angel But we both know you're mean as hell [Chorus:] I've had my share of hard times But I've lived through the strain Old friend I sure have missed you But you ain't missed a thing [Verse 4:] People talk about you After all this time You were many things to many people But you were a friend of mine [Chorus:] I've been thinking bout how long You've been gone the things you've never seen But old friend I sure have missed you But you ain't missed a thing [Outro:] Old buddy we sure have missed you But you ain't missed a thing
