Old Friends / Bookends Theme

[Part I: Old Friends] [Verse 1: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel] Old friends Old friends Sat on their park bench like bookends A newspaper blown through the grass Falls on the round toes Of the high shoes Of the old friends [Verse 2: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon] Old friends Winter companions, the old men Lost in their overcoats Waiting for the sun The sounds of the city Sifting through trees Settle like dust on the shoulders Of the old friends [Bridge: Art Garfunkel] Can you imagine us years from today Sharing a park bench quietly? How terribly strange to be seventy [Verse 3: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel] Old friends Memory brushes the same years Silently sharing the same fear [Part II: Bookends Theme] [Verse: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel] Time it was and what a time it was, it was A time of innocence A time of confidences Long ago, it must be I have a photograph Preserve your memories They're all that's left you
