Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends - Old Friends Lyrics

(from Merrily We Roll Along the Musical)

ALL:
Hey, old friend
Are you okay, old friend?
What do you say, old friend?
Are we or are we unique?

Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they'll do
But us, old friend
What’s to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us
Who's like us?

Hey, old friends
How do we stay old friends?
Who is to say, old friends
How an old friendship survives?
One day chums
Having a laugh a minute
One day comes
And they're a part of your lives

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Perfect as long as they're new
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few
