Old Friend Lyrics - The Power Of Two - Michael Feinstein

Love is rare, life is strange 

Nothing lasts, people change 

Every time I've lost another lover 

I call up my old friend 

And I say let's get together 

I'm under the weather 

Another love has come to an end 

And she listens as I tell her my sad story 

And wonders at my taste in friends 

And we ponder why I do it 

And the pain of getting through it 

And she laughs and says, "You'll do it again" 

But we sit in a bar and talk till two 

'Bout life and love as old friends do 

And tell each other what we've been through 

How love is rare, life is strange 

Nothing lasts, people change 

And I ask her if her life is ever lonely 

And if she ever feels despair 

And she says she's learned to love it 

'Cause that's really all part of it 

And it helps her feel the good times when they're there 

Yes, we sit in a bar and talk till two 

About life and love as old friends do 

And tell each other what we've been through 

How love is rare, life is strange 

Nothing lasts, people change 

And we wonder if I'll live with any lovers 

Or spend my life alone 

And the bartender is dozing 

And it's getting time for closing 

So we figure that I'll go out on my own 

But we'll meet the year we're sixty-two 

And travel the world as old friends do 

And tell each other what we've been through 

How love is rare, life is strange 

Nothing lasts, people change 

Love is rare, life is strange 

Nothing lasts, people change 

Old friend
