Hold an Old Friend's Hand
Another year and I'm still here
The grass won't seem to grow on this old hill
Still, I just can't let it go
I don't believe it's 'cause I'm cold
Or partial to the crazy life I'm caught in
Sometimes I feel the hand of time
Moving like its body was broke
And it's then I miss your sighs
And the tender words you spoke
Hey, that's okay, did you get yourself together?
Won't you come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Hey, I promise not to scold you
You don't have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won't you come on around and hold an old friend
Come on around and hold an old friend
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Another year and I'm still here
The sun don't want to shine on this old hill
Or anything that's mine
I don't believe it hurts to grow
Even when the crop you sow is a failure
But sometimes I wish I had no pride
I'd go out and sell my soul
But how do you say goodbye
To the only truth you've known?
Hey, that's okay, did you carry yourself together?
Won't you come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Hey-hey, hey, I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won't you come on around and hold an old friend
Come on around and hold an old friend
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Hey, that's okay, did you get yourself together?
Won't you come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Hey-hey, hey, I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay, I just want to hold you
Won't you come on around and hold an old friend
Come on around and hold an old friend
Come on around and hold an old friend's hand
Come on around
Come on around
Come on around
Come see an old friend
Come on around
Come on around
Come on around
Come see an old friend
Come on around
Come on around
Come on around
Come see an old friend
