Píseň: Old friends

Interpret:
Roger Taylor
Album:
Happiness?
When the sun got big
And the lights went down
We used to share a drink
And let the demons out


We let the good times rock
We let the bad times roll
We used to laugh a lot
You had a lot of soul


Old friends in better times
Old friend of mine


When the going got hard
When times were tough
We had our backs to the wall
You used to strut your stuff


With a head held high
And a heart so big
One fist to the sky
To shake a leg


Old friends in better times ...


(subtle drum break)


Even though, even though we miss you now
Look forward, don't look back
We'll get by somehow


Old friend of mine ...


And so I raise my glass
In a last goodbye
Leave in peace, old friend
For me you'll never die


The best thing I can say
After all this time
You were a real friend of mine


Old friends in better times ...
