You Can't Make Old Friends

By Kenny Rogers

Lyrics

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 me and you, 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
