When I look at you these days
I think of all we've been through
You and I are one and the same
And I thank God for youI remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again
My friend, oh, my friendYou were always here for me
And I'll be there for you
You taught me how to live my life
You're the strength that pulls me throughI remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again
My friendSo many times you were tough on me
I just didn't understand
Looking back, I realize that you made me a better man
Oh, my friendI remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again, and do it all over again
My friendOh, you'll always be my friend
Now I understand
